The 18-years old Jammu & Kashmir all-rounder who has already made his impact in U-16 and U-19 cricket, Abdul Samad is a hard-working cricketer who got selected in the IPL 2019. He has been bought by Sunrisers Hyderabad on his base prize 20 Lakh.
Samad used to live in Ustad Mohalla in Jammu and his father used to give cricket equipment as he wanted Samad to play cricket for India. Samad used to play gully cricket in a nearby park with his elder brother.
Coming from a humble background Abdul’s father managed to provide Samad coaching under the patronage of MA Stadium Coaching Centre where he was trained by Sports Council’s Coach, Randhir Singh Manhas and his assistant Raman Thaploo.

Since then he has been promoted to the senior level and then eventually started playing in the shorter format of the game. Abdul Samad has been performing admirably in both U16 and U19 cricket and that is the reason he got selected to play in the IPL 2020.
Abdul came into limelight when he scored 68 runs in just 52 balls against Gujrat in Vijay Hazare Trophy 2019-20. He had hit 7 splendid sixes in that innings, out of which 5 sixes came off the bowlers of international repute.
