Shami was the second-most expensive acquisition for SRH ahead of the 2025 IPL season at Rs 10 crores and will make a move to Lucknow at his existing fee, as per a statement from the league.
Shami had a poor IPL 2025 season in the 18th edition of the cash-rich league, the right-arm pacer managed to grab only six wickets in nine games, where he has conceded runs at an economy of 11.23.
Indian seamer Mohammed Shami lauded Pat Cummins for his composed and effective leadership, highlighting the Australian skipper's ability to bring out the best in his players.
DC, sitting at fifth place with six wins and four losses and aiming to confirm their spot in the playoffs, will be meeting struggling SRH, who sits at ninth spot with three wins and seven losses in 10 matches, at Hyderabad on Monday.
During the match against CSK, Shami's delivery, with a perfect seam position, induced an outside edge from Shaikh Rasheed's bat, removing the batter for a golden duck after being caught by Abhishek Sharma at slips.
