Vijay just played the solitary match for the Super Kings

The Sunrisers Hyderabad may have made the final thanks to the exploits of Rashid Khan with the ball, but there was one other Afghan in the side who did not play much.

Mohammad Nabi played just the two matches for the franchise this year and he will hope to get more opportunities next year to show his prowess both with bat and ball.

The Punjab right-hander, who was part of the Delhi Daredevils setup in this year's competition, did not feature in a single game for the franchise as they opted to use the likes of Vijay Shankar and others in the middle order.

Maybe as a finisher, he could have been a handy option to have down the order.
