Srinagar: India pacer Mohammad Shami has scripted a unique record in the IPL history goes past likes of Lasith Malinga and others.

In the Chennai Super Kings vs Sunrisers Hyderabad, Mohammed Shami struck in the very first over for the Sunrisers.

CSK opened their innings with Shaikh Rasheed and Ayush Mhatre coming out to bat, and Rasheed departed on the very first ball of the match as Mohammed Shami bowled a brilliant delivery, and Rasheed ended up handing a catch to Abhishek Sharma in the slips.

Taking a wicket on the very first delivery of the game, Shami went on to script an IPL record. He surpassed the likes of Umesh Yadav, Trent Boult, Praveen Kumar, Lasith Malinga, and Bhuvneshwar Kumar and became the only bowler in the IPL to have taken a wicket on the very first ball of an innings four times.

The others have only achieved this feat three times in their IPL careers. Mohammed Shami’s excellent start to the game helped Sunrisers Hyderabad mount the pressure early on against the five-time champions and stop them from getting off to a good start.
