Bairstow was bought by the 2016 IPL champions Sunrisers Hyderabad at a price of ₹ 2.20 Crores. Looking at the Hyderabad team, it is possible that Bairstow's role will be primarily as an opening batsman.

However, it will be very interesting to see how the Hyderabad based side uses his services. If the Sunrisers do opt to go with the opening combination of Warner and Bairstow, it can definitely send jitters in the opposition camps' bowlers.

It will be interesting to see how Bairstow performs in Indian conditions as cricket fans around the globe have high expectations from this player.
