How Sunrisers Hyderabad could possibly lineup for IPL 2018

LOWER ORDER- Wriddhiman Saha and Deepak Hooda:

The onus will be on Wriddhiman Saha to hold the lower order

This is perhaps the weakest link in this Sunrisers side. With no disrespect to Wriddhiman Saha and Deepak Hooda, both of whom are extremely talented players but lack the ability to use the long handle during death overs.

Saha is one of the safest hands behind the stumps and is a reliable batsman. He had a stellar 2017 IPL season where he scored 234 runs in 12 matches at an average of 23.4 and a strike rate of 125.13. As a keeper, Saha took 10 catches and affected 2 stumpings. Saha is an upgrade over Naman Ojha.

Deepak Hooda will be expected to play the role of a finisher, he did have a mediocre IPL 2017 campaign where he scored 78 runs at an average 26 and a strike rate of 150. He will be looking to impress when he pads up in IPL 2018.
