MI vs SRH IPL 2023: Why is Abdul Samad Not Playing Today IPL Match? Check SRH Playing XI

Interestingly, the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) have kept swashbuckling batsman Abdul Samad out of their starting XI for their 14th match of Indian Premier League (IPL 2023) against the Mumbai Indians (MI) at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. It will be really crucial for the Sunrisers Hyderabad to come up with an improved performance both with the bat and ball in their last league match of the Indian Premier League 2023. The Sunrisers Hyderabad have already been eliminated from the tournament with just 4 wins and 9 losses.

MI vs SRH IPL 2023: Why is Abdul Samad Not Playing Today IPL Match?

During the toss, it was noted that Abdul Samad is not included in the starting SRH playing 11 for today’s MI vs SRH match. Interestingly, he is part of the five substitute members but is unlikely to be drafted as the Impact Player because the Sunrisers Hyderabad are already batting first. Samad smashed an incredible six off the last ball to help SRH pick up an unbelievable win over Rajasthan Royals earlier in this IPL 2023 season. The right-handed big hitting batsman has scored 169 runs from 9 games this year at a strike-rate of over 130.

“We would want to finish strong. Another oppurtunity for the squad and a few of the players. There are a couple of changes. Exciting changes for us. Can’t remember most of them. High scoring venue. It should be a great time for the batters as we have nothing to lose,” said Sunrisers Hyderabad captain Aiden Markram during the toss.

Abdul Samad IPL 2023 Price

Sunrisers Hyderabad made an unexpected move by retaining Abdul Samad for the IPL 2022 mega auction, demonstrating their faith in the young cricketer. Throughout his IPL career, Samad has consistently displayed exceptional performance, accumulating an impressive total of 395 runs from 34 matches at a striking strike-rate of over 142. Despite his outstanding statistics, the 21-year-old talent was unfortunately limited to just two appearances for Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL 2022. Nevertheless, the franchise remained committed to his potential and retained him for IPL 2023.
