IPL 2022: 10 pinch hitters who can earn a surprise promotion
These players can take the opposition by surprise if promoted up the order.
7. Daniel Sams (MI)
Daniel Sams returns for his second stint in IPL, this time with the Mumbai Indians. Although, MI have two powerful finishers in the form of Tim David and Kieron Pollard, a player like Daniel Sams provides an added dimension. The Australian has scored 700 T20 runs at a strike rate of 150.20.
Mumbai Indians have a bit of thinking to do with a few middle order spots, and Daniel Sams could be a candidate for that role. For over a decade now, Kieron Pollard has been a mainstay in the Mumbai Indians middle-order.
Over the last six years, he has been aided by Hardik Pandya in the final overs, as they were touted supposedly the most dangerous batters in the competition. With Hardik Pandya’s departure, Mumbai Indians have a huge void to fill. Daniel Sams could be prove to be vital for the five-time champions, given his ability to hit the big shots, time and time again.
