ABDUL SAMAD

Abdul Samad was one of the three players who were retained by SRH ahead of IPL 2022 along with Umran Malik and Kane Williamson. While Williamson struggled with the bat but captained the team well and Umran Malik was the breakout star of the IPL 2022, Abdul Samad got lost in the shuffle.

He had done decently well as a finisher for SRH in IPL 2021 but failed to get game time this season, playing only 2 matches, as SRH opted to have Pooran as their designated finisher with Aiden Markram for support.

SRH might make some big changes in their squad before the IPL 2023, after getting to know the strengths and weaknesses of their players, Samad might see himself being released before the auction.
