IPL 2017: Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Gujarat Lions, 5 Talking Points

#2 The Sunrisers Hyderabad bowlers excel again

Sunrisers Hyderabad has one of the strongest bowling attacks in the IPL

Bowling has always been Sunrisers Hyderabad’s biggest strength and this was evident during last year’s IPL as the likes of Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Barinder Sran, Ashish Nehra, and Mustafizur Rahman were instrumental in their victorious campaign.

This year, the bowling department has undergone a few changes but has still been delivering for the Sunrisers. In their previous match, we saw the bowlers finishing the job in the end with Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Ashish Nehra, and Rashid Khan bagging two wickets apiece.

Against Gujarat, the bowling was even better with Rashid Khan bowling a sensational spell of 3/19. Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Ashish Nehra, and Bipul Sharma were also quite economical as they all conceded 21, 27, and 24 runs in their four overs respectively, with Bhuvi and Nehra picking up three wickets between them.

Provided the Sunrisers’ bowlers maintain their consistency, they could well be a nightmare for opposition batsmen.
