Why won’t Abdul Samad play in the IPL 2024 Final between KKR and SRH?

The Indian Premier League IPL 2024 Final took place on May 26 at Chennai’s MA Chidambaram Stadium between the Kolkata Knight Riders and Sunrisers Hyderabad. With a red-soil deck, SRH chose to bat first after winning the toss. By bringing Shahbaz Ahmed in place of Abdul Samad, SRH significantly changed their playing lineup. During their last game, Shahbaz was an impact player who was very good with the ball and had a useful bat.

In contrast, KKR fielded the same lineup for the decisive match. It should be noted that KKR has the advantage in their two meetings with the other team prior to the finals. Shreyas Iyer guided the Delhi Capitals to the Finals in 2020, and this would be his second game in that role.

We’re going to bat first. It appears to be a nice wicket; the other night, it was played on a different wicket. The game the other night didn’t have any dew, but when it does, it can be quite harmful. Since there wasn’t any dew the other night, I think we’ll have none today, and I’d rather crack with the bat first. Our approach is not always effective, but when it is, it can be highly harmful. We have excelled at keeping scores close. Cummins stated at the toss, “It’s pretty much the same; Shahbaz comes in for Samad.

We would have bowled, so we will have a decent notion of how the pitch will behave. We used this same red soil to play on when we played our previous game. We must act on our plans, stay in the now, and adhere to the fundamentals. All players are accepting responsibility; it’s a big game, and many are anxious about competing in their first final, but it’s also an excellent opportunity. Iyer declared at the toss that “we’re going with the same team.”
