#1 Jason Roy

The flamboyant English opener who did well for Delhi last season, Jason Roy can also be one of the major contenders to open for Hyderabad in the forthcoming season. Roy, who has an attacking approach with a rare ability to score runs at will, can walk into any T20 side on his mere ability to strike the ball.
His contribution lately to English cricket has been second to none. His pairing with Alex Hales at the top of the order has brought glory to their limited overs cricket. The duo has stitched long partnerships at regular intervals for their national side.
Often Roy is the aggressor and accelerates to take the attack on the opposition. It will be interesting to see if Roy's exploits in the past can impress the think-tank at the Sunrisers or will he find another franchise with better plans in store for him.
