IPL 2020: Sunrisers Hyderabad Strength And Weakness In UAE

Sunrisers  Hyderabad(SRH) have been one of the most consistent sides off late, having qualified for the playoffs for five consecutive seasons, beginning from 2015. In the last 5 seasons, SRH has lifted the trophy once, finished as runner-ups once and twice finished in the third place.

The Hyderabad-based franchise is known for its strategic picks during the auction, where more often than not, they prove to be the smartest buyers. The story was no different this time. The think-tank comprising of the composed heads of VVS Laxman, Tom Moddy, and Muttiah Murlidharan targetted only a few players who would fit into the slots they required to fill.

David Warner has been re-appointed as the Sunrisers Hyderabad Captain.

Here we will look Sunrisers Hyderabad's Strength And Weakness In UAE.

Strength:

Warner and Bairstow were nearly unstoppable as openers last season. David Warner is in prime form and the responsibility has always fired him on to do bigger things. The dual role of captain and the premier batsman of Sunrisers is sure to give him more oxygen this time. Then they have some really wonderful players like Kane Williamson, Rashid Khan, Mohammad Nabi, Manish Pandey, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, , all match-winners on their own. Vijay Shankar

and Mitchell Marsh provide balance.

Weakness:

 

Like Mumbai Indians,SRH too dont have much Weakness on paper.But many times, the Hyderabad outfit has failed to work as a team and tried to bank on individual brilliance to achieve result. Hopefully, Warner and his mode of captaincy can change the trend for them this year in UAE. Bhuvneshwar has been their key bowler over the years, making important contributions at the start of the innings as well as at the death. But over the last year or so, the pacer has lost lot of time to injury and rehabilitation and the coronavirus-forced break. It remains to be seen whether Bhuvneshwar can lift the performance to the mark this time around. It will have a crucial bearing on their fortunes.

Squard:

David Warner, Abhishek Sharma, Basil Thampi, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Billy Stanlake, Jonny Bairstow, Kane Williamson, Manish Pandey, Mohammad Nabi, Rashid Khan, Sandeep Sharma, Shahbaz Nadeem, Sreevats Goswami, Siddharth Kaul, Khaleel Ahmed, T Natarajan, Vijay Shankar, Wriddhiman Saha, Virat Singh, Priyam Garg, Mitchell Marsh, Sandeep Bavanaka, Fabien Allem, Abdul Samad, Sanjay Yadav.
