Despite the disappointing season, his career credentials and experience remain invaluable to LSG's squad as they prepare for IPL 2026.
The IPL officially confirmed the trade, stating, “Veteran fast bowler Mohammed Shami will turn out for Lucknow Super Giants after a successful trade from Sunrisers Hyderabad. Shami, the second-most expensive acquisition for SRH ahead of IPL 2025 at INR 10 crore, will move to LSG at his existing fee.”
Mohammed Shami's IPL Journey: From Kolkata Knight Riders Debutant to Purple Cap Winner
Shami's IPL career spans over a decade, with impressive stints across five franchises. His journey began in 2013 with Kolkata Knight Riders, where he made a brief three-match appearance, taking just a single wicket.He then moved to Delhi Capitals (formerly Delhi Daredevils) for four seasons (2014, 2016–2018), claiming 20 wickets in 32 matches. The next chapter came with Punjab Kings (2019–2021), where Shami truly showcased his talent, taking 58 wickets across 42 matches.
In 2022, Shami joined the newly formed Gujarat Titans, making an immediate impact. He picked up 20 wickets in 2022 and then 28 wickets in IPL 2023, clinching the coveted Purple Cap as the season's highest wicket-taker. Despite his individual brilliance, GT narrowly missed out on the championship, finishing as runners-up.
How Injuries and IPL 2025 Performance Led to Shami's Trade to Lucknow Super Giants
Shami missed the entire IPL 2024 season due to a foot injury sustained during India's ODI World Cup campaign in 2023. He returned in IPL 2025 with high expectations but struggled to deliver consistently, leaking runs and failing to claim wickets regularly. Consequently, he was dropped from Sunrisers Hyderabad's playing XI and eventually traded to LSG ahead of the IPL 2026 season.Despite recent setbacks, Shami's track record of match-winning performances and experience in high-pressure games is expected to provide LSG with a strong pace attack.
What Shami Brings to Lucknow Super Giants
Lucknow Super Giants will be hoping Shami's expertise bolsters their bowling attack in IPL 2026. Known for his ability to swing the ball both ways, deliver accurate yorkers under pressure, and break partnerships at crucial moments, Shami is more than just a bowler, he is a mentor for young pacers in the squad.His Purple Cap-winning campaign with Gujarat Titans in 2023 is a reminder that Shami can dominate even the strongest batting line-ups when fit and in form. For LSG, he represents not only experience but also the potential to mentor emerging Indian bowlers and strengthen their chances of IPL glory.
