IPL 2022: Flop Overseas XI from second week of the tournament

8. Daniel Sams

Daniel Sams was brought in by Mumbai Indians as someone who could at least partially replace Kiwi pacer Trent Boult. The Australian left-arm bowler has been vastly unimpressive so far, and he was handed a thrashing by his countryman Pat Cummins a few days ago.

Sams conceded 35 runs in a single over against Cummins, which cost Mumbai Indians their third successive loss. The left-armer was hit for four sixes in the 16th over, as Kolkata Knight Riders chased down the total with four overs remaining.

He ended with figures of 1/50 in his three-over spell, despite having a decent start. He picked up the key wicket of Shreyas Iyer after a short ball ploy did the trick. Against Delhi Capitals, he conceded 32 runs in just four overs, without picking up a single wicket. It is high time that Mumbai considers bringing in someone like Riley Meredith or Jaydev Unadkat into their lineup.
