The Big Bash 2019–20 top wicket-taker, Sams, was signed by the Delhi Capitals when English opener Jason Roy withdrew from the IPL 2020 due to personal reasons. He only appeared in three games for the Capitals and failed to pick up a wicket during the tournament. He was traded to Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) ahead of the 2021 IPL despite playing alongside a lethal fast bowling lineup that included Kagiso Rabada, Anrich Nortje, and Ishant Sharma.

Sams made a name for himself as a productive all-rounder in the 2020–21 BBL season when he amassed 200 runs in 8 innings and claimed a few wickets.

However, his time at RCB came to a disappointing conclusion. After taking just one wicket in the 2021 season, the team dropped him the following year. He was fortunate to be selected by the Mumbai Indians before the 2022 Indian Premier League. In an outstanding spell, he claimed 13 wickets.
