I was focused on bowling my best in the final over: Daniel Sams
Read it in Hindi.

An excellent final over from Daniel Sams to defend an improbable nine runs took us over the line against GT and the pumped up Aussie pacer attended the post-match press conference.
The left-armer bowled slower deliveries throughout and kept it out of the batters’ hitting arc, which he revealed was the plan all along.
“I was focused on my best ball - the slower one. I tried to mix up the lengths a little and keep it away from him (David Miller) while bowling nice and slow,” stated Dan.
“Bowling wide is one of those things we discuss, it’s better to bowl wide than get it wrong and be hit for six. Sometimes it may not go our way but I was focused on the execution today.”
After a tough few games in the initial part of the season, Sams has been one of the standout players in recent games and he thought the tough matches helped him come back stronger.
“It’s one of those things - it was a good time for me to reflect on those games as well as the things I do well. I had the starts in some games but I was committed to the things I do well. It gave me some time to work on and execute those things since I have come back to the team. I have been calm in the last few games,” he concluded.
A thrilling match and a nail-biting final over from Dan has ensured that we all go to bed a happy bunch, Paltan!
