IPL 2018, Qualifier 2: KKR vs SRH: 3 areas for SRH to work on to get back to winning ways

#2 SRH must sort out their middle-order woes

Manish Pandey has had a season to forget

As mentioned earlier, SRH have been a one-man army thus far. The outstanding depth in their bowling line-up has covered up for their fragile and woefully out of form middle-order.

It’s really too late for SRH to juggle around too much with their middle order. Yusuf Pathan hasn’t been effective, Deepak Hooda has had a forgettable season and the person they entrusted a lot of hope, has had his worst IPL in terms of impact and contribution to his team’s success.

So then what can this team do to provide solid support to their top three? Well, they can change their batting order.

Carlos Braithwaite showed he has the power intact, so he can be pushed up the order to surprise the opposition.

The likes of Manish Pandey, Hooda and Al Hasan should be able to finish off the innings. SRH must pull of a trick to put off KKR from the set plans they might have come into this big encounter.

It’s too late in the tournament for personnel changes to make any impact on their batting. SRH would hope that players with proven T20 potential come good on the big day and take them to the finals against CSK.
