Earlier, SRH banked upon Moises Henriques to provide balance to their side for the chunk of their IPL journey, who delivered only in patches.

Poaching Shakib Al Hasan, who has achieved the top rank in all the formats of the game at the international level, SRH has powered-up their arsenal with a player who is expected to be an integral part of their setup.

In addition to that, having a seam-bowling all-rounder option in Carlos Brathwaite will help the one-time champions to adapt to the varying conditions in the away games. Mohammad Nabi & Chris Jordan further expands the alternatives that SRH possess.
