Even though KKR won the match SRH had a very good chance of winning the match if they would have sent Abdul Samad ahead of Vijay Shankar.
Here are the few tweets from cricketing experts questioning SRH for Sending Vijay Shankar Ahead.
Well done @KKRiders on winning this game. With Russel bowling they have 6 quality options. But why was samad sent so late ?? #KKRvSRH

Abdul Samad. Serious talent. He’s hit sixes against Nortje, Rabada, Bumrah and Cummins. Side note—He hit 36 sixes in his debut first-class season. #IPL2021 #SRHvKKR

I think @SunRisers wanted a bit more from Manish Pandey. He had to play the lead role and provide the finish. And, I have no doubt they will play Samad a bit higher. Give him 25-30 balls and he could change games
