Abdul Samad was desperate to prove his worth in the team: Hemang Badani

Jaipur: Sunrisers Hyderabad batting coach Hemang Badani said Abdul Samad, who hit a last-ball six against Rajasthan Royals to lift the team to a thrilling win, was desperate to prove his worth in the team after a series of setbacks. Has been in the Sunrisers team since but could never make a useful contribution. On Sunday, however, he scored 17 off seven balls as Sunrisers chased down the target of 215.

Sunrisers needed four runs off the last ball. Samad is caught by Sandeep Sharma but the ball turns out to be a no ball. After this, Samad hit a six off a free hit to seal the win for his team. “It was a very good win for us because it gave us the momentum,” Badani told reporters after the match. We were not able to end some matches on a positive note. Especially the match against KKR where we needed nine runs in the last over.

Apart from this, we should have won the match played against Delhi at home. Badani said that Abdul Samad was very disappointed after the defeat against KKR. . He was the first person who came up to me after the last match and said that I should have won the team. He was not able to end the match on a positive note and was quite unhappy with it. He was thinking that the team has retained him and he should prove his worth.
