Sunrisers Hyderabad has always been known for its bowling might. This year too SRH made sure that they form a strong bowling attack.

They bought several domestic Indian bowlers like Siddharth Kaul, Sandeep Sharma, Basil Thampi and Khaleel Ahmed. Even with such a strong Indian fast-bowling contingent, SRH picked overseas seamers like Chris Jordan and Billy Stanlake.

However, with Stanlake being ruled out of the tournament and Bhuvneshwar Kumar getting injured, Sandeep Sharma was given a long run in the side. The Punjab pacer didn't disappoint and has been brilliant with the new ball as he has picked up 6 wickets in 5 matches.

The most staggering part of his performance this year has been his spectacular economy of 5.31 runs per over. Sandeep Sharma will be vital to SRH's chances going forward in the tournament.
