Abdul Samad is an Indian allrounder who bats right-handed and bowls legbreak. He has accumulated 859 runs across his ODI career.
A utility player capable of contributing with both bat and ball, Samad represents the type of flexible squad option modern limited-overs cricket demands. His right-hand batting gives him a role in the middle order, while his legbreak bowling offers variation in the bowling attack. The combination of skills has made him a candidate for selection across India's white-ball formats.
At allrounder level, consistency across both disciplines remains the challenge for most players at international cricket. Samad's career trajectory will depend on his ability to establish himself as a reliable performer in either capacity - whether as a batsman who can bowl, or a bowler who can bat. His ODI record to date reflects a player still developing his game at the highest level.
