IPL 2018: 4 things SRH can do to address their batting woes

Batting is a matter of concern for the SRH team management even after registering 5 wins in 7 matches. In their two losses, they were chasing the targets of 194 and 183 but could manage only 178 on both occasions. In spite of Williamson's exceptional performances at the top, the void created by David Warner's absence is clearly visible. Sunrisers should address their batting woes as soon as possible to reach the playoffs comfortably.

Here are the four things that SRH can do to improve their batting:


#4 Shreevats Goswami in place of Wriddhiman Saha

Wriddhiman Saha

Till now, Wriddhiman Saha hasn't performed well with the bat. In 7 innings, he has scored only 68 runs off 63 deliveries with a low strike rate of 107.94. His scores on the seven occasions were 5, 22, 24, 6, 5*, 0, 6. Even though he has been good behind the stumps, his batting performances haven't been up to markĀ and are letting his team down.

SRH, one of the sides to have had a good auction, could afford a backup keeper in the form of Shreevats Goswami. Goswami had a good Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy as he scored 373 runs with an average of 52.38. He was fourth highest run-getter of the tournament and has hit five half-centuries in 8 innings at a strike rate of 151.62. If given a chance, Goswami would definitely want to prove his mettle and this is the right time to use him as Saha has underperformed this year.
