Abdul Samad impressed one and all in the last season. His ability to clear the ropes managed to grab everyone’s attention. SRH always lacked a hard hitter and Samad gave SRH fans a glimpse of his capabilities as a finisher. His ability to bowl a couple of overs as well as take some sensations catches on the field make him a complete package.

The youngster from Rajouri had an incredible outing in the domestic tournament, leading up to IPL 2020, scoring three centuries and amassing 592 runs. He hit 36 sixes – the most by anyone in the season – which eventually helped Jammu and Kashmir to storm into the quarterfinals of the Ranji Trophy. This is what prompted SRH to get Samad in IPL 2020.

In the last edition of IPL, Samad played 12 matches scored 111 runs with a strike rate of 170. In his journey to 111 runs, he smashed 6 sixes and 8 fours. Given SRH’s relatively vulnerable middle order, Samad would have a bigger role to play this time around as compared to the previous season.
