Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) have pulled off one of the boldest trades of the window ahead of the IPL 2026 auction next month in Abu Dhabi. In a stunning development, the Lucknow Super Giants traded in the star pacer Mohammed Shami from Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) on November 14.
Mohammed Shami is now all set to join Rishabh Pant at the LSG for the next season. The Indian bowler, who is known for his lethal seam movement, sharp accuracy, and unmatched ability to strike with the new ball, brings world-class firepower to the LSG.

Shami will play under Rishabh Pant’s captaincy in the IPL 2026. The LSG confirmed the news with a cryptic post where they didn’t mention Shami but shared a picture from the India-England match, where the veteran Indian bowler clean bowled Ben Stokes.
Your daily dose of cricket!
Sharing Stokes’ picture, the franchise wrote in the caption, “Just thinking about this Ekana moment for no reason 🤭.”
