#1 Hashim Amla

Bowling was SRH's main strength this season so there is no use in pointing at an unsold bowler and asking why the runners-up signing sign him. They needed an experienced opener. Hence, the third name on this list is also a batsman.
Hashim Amla has played just two seasons in the IPL – 16 matches altogether. The South African has notched 577 runs with a strike rate of 141 and an average of 44! He's even got a century to his name – something a lot of players who have played 75+ games don't.
Amla would have been a better pick than Alex Hales and it could have made the SRH batting stronger. He, along with Dhawan, could have got them off to a quick start and put the pressure on the opponents from the word go.
