IPL 2016: 5 reasons why Sunrisers Hyderabad have performed superbly this season

The left-handed all-rounder's experience will be vital for SRH in the playoffs

#5 – Yuvraj Singh's return to form

Yuvraj Singh has played for three different franchises in the last three seasons of the IPL. It probably could be an indication of how highly rated he is at the start of an IPL season. However, the veteran all-rounder has disappointed for his respective teams during the last two tournaments.

Missing out on the first month of the IPL, Yuvraj Singh came back into the SRH side in the month of May. His overall numbers might not look very impressive with 146 runs being scored in 7 matches at an average of 24.33 and a strike rate of just under 30.

Having said that, it has to be noted that in the last few games of the league stages, the 34-year-old has been striking the ball more cleanly than what he did since his return to the Indian T20I squad. A couple of knocks by Yuvraj were crucial in SRH's journey to the playoffs. He has proved time and again that he cannot be written off completely yet.
