Khaleel Ahmed has previously represented Delhi in IPL

Team: Sunrisers Hyderabad

Role: Left-arm medium-pace bowler

Recent Form: This Rajasthan pacer, who previously had an IPL stint with Delhi Daredevils, has been in good form in the domestic season so far. He was the second highest wicket-taker in the Syed-Mushtaq Ali Trophy, where he took 17 wickets and has had a decent outing in the Vijay Hazare trophy so far, taking 10 wickets from six games.

Additional Comments: With Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Siddharth Kaul, Basil Thampi, Sandeep Sharma, and T Natarajan in the team as the other Indian fast bowlers, competition for places will be quite stiff. But Ahmed offers variety as he is one of the only two left-arm Indian quicks in the team.

While he may not get to play every game, the amount that Sunrisers spent on him (3 crores) indicates that he is definitely part of their plans and one to watch out for.
