IPL 2018: 7 points defining Sunrisers Hyderabad as the favorites to win the title

#3 Established power-hitters

SRH now has both, the Indian & overseas options

Yusuf Pathan is a much-needed addition to the SRH setup, especially providing a cushion to their long-term investment, Deepak Hooda. They always lacked the firepower towards the end of their innings with Naman Ojha, Yuvraj Singh, Ben Cutting and others disappointing more often than not.

In addition to that, they even have Carlos Brathwaite & Mohammad Nabi who can come in and add salt to the wounds of the opposition. The struggle for acceleration in the past got transformed into a luxury for the Warner-led side.
