5 reasons why SRH have been the best team at the IPL auctions over the years

#3 Targeting all-rounders

We often hear the experts talk about the ideal combination for a team and how critical is the balance of the team. And that balance is invariably provided by all-rounders.

SRH have invested heavily in all-rounders over the years. Darren Sammy, Ravi Bopara, Moises Henriques, Butting Cutting, Vijay Shankar, Deepak Hooda have all been central to SRH’s plans over the last few years. In fact, Ben Cutting and Moises Henriques have been regular in the XI in the last couple of years.

Even though SRH didn't have great batting depth, their allrounders more than covered it up for the absence of some power hitters. Thus, the SRH management has been very cautious in choosing their players at the auctions and have often bid aggressively for all-rounders.
