SRH vs LSG, IPL 2026: Mohammed Shami was the star of the show for Lucknow as he picked up the crucial wickets of Abhishek Sharma, Travis Head. His good show also earned him the Player of the Match award. He conceded merely nine runs in his four overs and picked up two wickets. 

Following his good show, he finally broke silence on his Team India non-selection. He also claimed that Lucknow is his second home and that he has formed a good equation with bowling coach Bharat Arun. 

‘I am not a machine’

"I am not a machine. My season can go up and down. I have performed well in the last few years. People have not noticed, that's different. But I always try to do well," he told reporters when asked about his last season," he told reporters.

"And as far as Bharat bhai is concerned, we have worked together in the Indian team for a long time. We have a good bounding. We have a good understanding with each other. So it is very important that the players and staff match well. And as far as Lucknow is concerned, it is my second home. So it doesn't take much time to match up," he added. 

Pant Finally Fires

Captain Rishabh Pant fired and how. He steered his side over the line in a tricky chase with a sensible 68* off 50 balls. His innings was laced with nine boundaries. The knock is certainly going to help Pant's confidence and that in turn should help LSG as well. LSG take on Kolkata in their next game on April 9.
