5 Reasons why Sunrisers Hyderabad are favourites to win IPL 2018

#4 Good back up options

When one of their in-form bowler Billy Stanlake was injured, Sunrisers had a back up in Sandeep Sharma and so far he has been terrific with the new ball.

After the injury to Bhuvneshwar Kumar, any side would have panicked because of the lack of options but SRH had Basil Thampi waiting and he delivered too, particularly against Mumbai Indians in that low scoring encounter as he finished with 2-4.

Having qualified already and almost confirmed of a top two finish, they might even try out few other players in order to keep them match fit.
