IPL 2023: 5 teams that might target Daniel Sams at auction
Daniel Sams is an asset to any side due to his all-round prowess and many franchises could raise their paddles to sign him at the upcoming auction.
1. Kolkata Knight Riders
In IPL 2022, Kolkata Knight Riders failed to get their act together and were not able to string consecutive wins under their belt. As a result, Shreyas Iyer & co. ended the season at the seventh position with six wins in 14 matches. In a bid to revamp their squad for the upcoming season, KKR parted ways with 16 of their players.
Kolkata’s current pace-attack comprises Tim Southee, Shardul Thakur, Lockie Ferguson, and Harshit Rana. Though KKR have the express pace of Ferguson and Harshit to rattle the batters, they don’t possess seamers bringing a left-arm angle. The presence of a left-arm seamer adds variety to the pace attack and makes the bowling unit more rounded.
Thus, KKR would look to add the missing piece in their bowling cartel and rope in gun left-arm seamers in their arsenal. The team management could consider signing Sams at the upcoming player auction. The Australian pacer can make the ball talk at the start of the innings and also is quite impeccable at the death. Moreover, he is more than handy with the bat and has displayed his batting might in the T20 circuit time and time again. Therefore, KKR could target Sams at the auction.
