Excelsior Sports CorrespondentJAMMU, Apr 14: J&K’s explosive batter Abdul Samad continues to shine in the IPL, displaying maturity, consistency and raw power despite limited opportunities. A natural top-order player, Samad often bats lower down but has made every chance count with impactful cameos.He smashed 22 off 8 balls against Sunrisers Hyderabad, 27 off 12 versus Punjab Kings, 4 off 2 against Mumbai Indians, and 20 off 11 facing Chennai Super Kings — all highlighting his finishing prowess.
Experts believe that with more time at the crease, especially in the top order, Samad could be as dangerous as Abhishek Sharma. His domestic record backs this up — six Ranji centuries, five of them scored in under 100 balls.Moves like promoting him above David Miller against CSK hint at his potential being recognized.
Samad is a rare talent, and the cricketing world may soon see his full range — if given the right platform.The post Samad deserves bigger role appeared first on Daily Excelsior..
