Here is the likely team which may represent the Sunrisers Hyderabad:
Batting
The Sunrisers Hyderabad batting has depended quite heavily on the opening pair of David Warner and Shikhar Dhawan. Skipper Warner, in particular, has been in devastating form this season with 567 runs from 12 innings at a strike rate of 155.76 and as many as 6 half-centuries. Dhawan, on the other hand, has shrugged off his poor form to register 400-plus runs in the tournament at an average in excess of 50.

Yuvraj Singh, who has played just 5 matches in the 2016 IPL, has also shown glimpses of good form with a couple of pulsating knocks for his team. Eoin Morgan and Kane Williamson have also performed decently with more than 100 runs and a half-century each. Deepak Hooda has not been able to emulate his form for Rajasthan Royals in the current season till now.
All-rounders
Australian Moises Henriques has been SRH’s best all-rounder in the ongoing IPL with more than 100 runs and 10 wickets to show for his efforts. Yuvraj’s all-round skills have not been used too much by Warner and it is a similar story in case of Hooda as well.
Bowling
Their pacers have been the key for the Sunrisers in their highly successful campaign so far. Bhuvneshwar Kumar has proved his worth yet again with a tally of 16 wickets so far, which includes a 4-wicket haul. He has formed a great partnership with Bangladeshi medium-pace bowler Mustafizur Rahman, who has claimed 14 wickets in his debut IPL year and boasts of a terrific economy rate of just 6.66.
Veteran fast bowler Ashish Nehra had also been impressive but was unfortunate to get injured. Barinder Sran has also had a good season with 9 wickets in as many games and Henriques has played his part, too. Spinners have not had a big role to play in David Warner’s scheme of things till now.
Probable Playing XI
David Warner (c), Shikhar Dhawan, Deepak Hooda, Yuvraj Singh, Naman Ojha, Moises Henriques, Ben Cutting, Karn Sharma, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Barinder Sran, Mustafizur Rahman.
