Presence of big-match players
Although SRH have made some tweaks to their side towards the end of the tournament, they still boast of some world-class players who thrive under pressure. Their top-order which consists of David Warner, Shikhar Dhawan and Yuvraj Singh don't only make for some for a destructive batting line-up but also players who thrive under high-pressure situations.
From his exploits in the previous edition of the Champions Trophy, Dhawan, who is currently the second-leading run-getter in the tournament, has established his credentials as a big-game player. That is something he will be looking to continue against KKR where a win will send them through a virtual semi-final.
World T20 2007, World Cup 2011, Natwest series, the number of times that Yuvraj has come through in big games is there for all to see and although he hasn't been consistent in this year's tournament, he will look to be there when it matters like he was last time around in the eliminator against KKR which SRH won.
