The fact that the Purple Cap winner in the last two editions of the IPL - Bhuvneshwar Kumar - was SRH's least impressive bowler on the day when they managed to restrict the opposition to just 125 runs in their 20 overs speaks volume of how strong a bowling unit Kane Williamson has at his disposal.

It was pretty evident that the SRH team management was well prepared for today's contest with proper plans in place for individual players and the bowlers executed those plans perfectly, making the skipper's job a lot easier.

SRH has plenty of variety in their bowling with Bhuvi providing the swing option while Kaul and Stanlake are all about express pace.

To top it all, they have the No1 ranked T20 bowler in the world Rashid Khan in their ranks along with the highly experienced Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan.

With such variations, SRH has arguably the best bowling unit in IPL 2018 and if they can bowl nearly as well as they did today, they have a very good chance of progressing to the knockout phase of the tournament.
