Watch: Abdul Samad Causes Comical Error As He Throws Ball Over Boundary Rope

Jammu and Kashmir batsman Abdul Samad was involved in a comical error as he featured for SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the match against Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) on Saturday. SRH bowlers displayed disciplined bowling performance to restrict the in-form KXIP franchise to 126/7 runs in the stipulated 20 overs.

Fast bowler Sandeep Sharma and Jason Holder picked up two wickets each while premier Afghanistan spinner also chipped in with as many wickets. West Indies hard-hitting batsman Nicholas Pooran was the pick of the batsman for KXIP as he remained unbeaten on 32 run off 28 deliveries which included two boundaries.

The comical moment in the match took place in the fifth over of the match as Mandeep Singh played a miscued shot which raced towards the boundary but Abdul Samad did well to cut it off before throwing it over the rope. Sandeep Sharma also had a little laugh as the comical moment broke out.

“Very happy and it was very satisfying to get to 100 wickets. I was trying to get there for the last two games, and am glad to get it against my ex-team. The celebration was thanking God, and that’s why I wrote it in the air. Actually I back my strengths and believe in them, at the same time work on the field placements,” Sandeep Sharma said on picking up his 100th wicket in the lucrative tournament.

“I speak to the other bowlers like Jason Holder about these field placements, and it is really helping me. When the ball doesn’t swing after one over, I try to bowl at the stumps as much as possible and not give room to the batsmen. I try to play around with the two fielders in the deep. Even if batsmen score against me, I try and ensure they find the fielders,” he added.

SRH have been set a target of 127 runs to win the match.
