The Mumbai Indians bought the Australian all-rounder on Day 2 of the mega auction for a cool 2.6 crore after a fierce bidding war with Lucknow Super Giants. Sams made his international debut for Australia in 2020 and has played 7 games. A useful bowler in the death overs, Sams will have an important role to play for MI in the 15th season of the game and the team will rely on him to use his experience in crunch moments of the game.
