How Sunrisers Hyderabad could possibly lineup for IPL 2018
Sunrisers Hyderabad have always been credited of having the best auction strategy and buys in the past few IPL player auctions and the performances of Mustafizur Rahman and Rashid Khan have only strengthened that point.
They went into the 2018 IPL auction with a clear plan to weed out the weaknesses from their past campaigns, which meant renovating their middle order batting and finding a finisher.
They were able to accomplish both of these targets with a mixture of pricey and bargain buys. Since the conclusion of the auction, Cricketing pundits have backed the Sunrisers Hyderabad to have a successful 2018 IPL campaign.
So, lets have a look at the much talked about Sunrisers Hyderabad starting eleven for the 2018 IPL season:
OPENERS- David Warner and Shikhar Dhawan:
By using the RTM card for Shikhar Dhawan at Rs 5.2 crore, SRH made sure that the recipe for their continued success over the past few seasons stayed intact.
With over 2000 runs in the past 4 seasons together, David Warner and Shikhar Dhawan have formed one of the most formidable opening pairs in the IPL. They rank in the top 5 for the best opening pairs in the history of the IPL.
