#2- Sunrisers Hyderabad

Sunrisers Hyderabad, who ended up as runner-up in the previous edition of the IPL, have traded the financially unhappy Dhawan to DD in exchange for Shahbaz Nadeem, Vijay Shankar, and Abhishek Sharma and hence, need an opener. Moreover, the fact that Warner would return after serving a one-year ban and may not be the former himself would also concern the SRH management. Hence, SRH would look for a good opening batsman at the auction who would consistently provide the team with solid starts. Finch, who represented SRH in the 2014 season may just be the player SRH are looking for.
The trio of Warner, Finch, Williamson would make for a strong top order. With Manish Pandey and Yusuf Pathan to follow, SRH's batting prowess would be second to none. Unlike KXIP Finch would get to express himself at the top for SRH.
