IPL 2016: 8 teams and the type of player they desperately lack

5. Sunrisers Hyderabad

Sunrisers have been impressive this season under the leadership of David Warner

Sunrisers Hyderabad, since their inception in 2013, have defied the odds and have put up impressive fighting performances season after season despite not having too many impact players in their squads.

This season as well, it has been their captain David Warner who has carried the team on its back with a series of match-winning performances. The fast-bowling core of Bhuvaneshwar Kumar, Barinder Sran, and Mustafizur Rahman has been impressive too.

However, the Sunrisers lack a quality spinner in their midst who can restrictive as well as penetrating. Karn Sharma and Bipul Sharma have been in and out of the playing XI this season, and hence, the Hyderabad-based franchise has heavily relied on their fast bowlers.

But they can land themselves in trouble should the fast bowlers fail to pick up wickets in a particular game and the onus to get breakthroughs is shifted onto the slower bowlers.
