10 players who were the toughest opponents of their current IPL 2018 teams in the past 

#8 - Manish Pandey

Manish Pandey featured in many KKR vs SRH battles from 2014-2017

Another ex-KKR player makes this list. Karnataka batsman Manish Pandey will also join the Sunrisers Hyderabad ranks this year, having turned out for KKR from 2014-17. It will be his fourth team after RCB and the now-defunct Pune Warriors India.

Like Pathan, Pandey too seemed to enjoy playing against a difficult Sunrisers bowling attack. Even though he doesn’t have a massive, significant performance, Pandey provided KKR with the stability at the top of the order which helped the others score freely. His average of 38.12 bears testimony to that. Here are his all-time numbers against SRH –

Matches 11, Runs 305, Average 38.12, Strike rate 118.67

He sits on the 7th position in the highest run-getters list against his now current team. Pandey’s presence is not only expected to boost SRH’s batting, but also of getting rid of a potential opponent.
