Indian Premier League (IPL) has already kicked off and has produced many mouth-watering clashes in the first week of the season.The race for top four has already begun and some of the teams have started off really well.
Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) are in great form winning all the first 3 matches and are at the top of the league with 6 points. The main reason behind their overwhelming success is how smartly the SRH management built their core team during the IPL auction.
Let us find out the key points why SRH will be the most successful team.
#5 Back up players
When the IPL auction was done and dusted, it was the 2016 IPL champions Hyderabad which looked the strongest team on paper. Not only the core squad looked strong, but also the backup players looked equally strong.
SRH has backup players for each and every category. Before the ball-tampering saga, David Warner was the mainstay in the batting line-up along with Shikhar Dhawan. After Warner was suspended in IPL, the team had already Kane Williamson as a backup batsman.
In the bowling department, SRH has Sandeep Sharma, Basil Thampi, and Natrajan while in the all-rounder department, they have Carlos Braithwaite and Mohammad Nabi. Shreevats Goswami is the backup keeper for Wriddiman Saha.
