My intention was to limit myself to the best balls: Daniel Sams
“Awesome, we crossed the line, it went back and forth. ” 9 runs off 6 balls made me feel like I had nothing to lose and that the odds were in my favor. I got a few wide balls in the tramline and executed it well. ” My intention was to stick to the best balls I could bowl. The slower ball is the one I go back to, and it paid off,” Sams said after the match.
Notably, MI were already out of the IPL 2022 playoff race after losing their first eight games, and any result against GT would not have helped them. “After the eight losses, we viewed it as a six-game mini-IPL.” “We were able to pull it off because we were trying to show what we can do,” Sams said.
Meanwhile, MI captain Rohit Sharma praised Sams for overcoming the ghosts of his previous failures. “He was under the pump in a couple of games, but I’ve seen him play for Australia and in the BBL, and he has a lot of skill “Defending nine runs was not easy,” Rohit said.Meanwhile, MI captain Rohit Sharma praised Sams for overcoming the ghosts of his previous failures. “He was under the pump in a couple of games, but I’ve seen him play for Australia and in the BBL, and he has a lot of skill “Defending nine runs was not easy,” Rohit said.
