The stage is set for another blissful season of IPL as the franchises gear up to take the centre stage in what is probably the most famous T20 league in the world, where every team holds a formidable squad, thus making it even harder to predict the outcome.
Talking about formidable squads, there is one such franchise who seems to have all boxes ticked heading into the 12th instalment of IPL and that team is Sunrisers Hyderabad. The 2016 champions possess a fearsome lineup that has the ability to hurt any opposition.
SRH reached the final last term where they lost to Chennai Super Kings by eight wickets. The orange army will be looking to win the tournament this time and for that, they need their star men to fire on all cylinders in order to ensure a successful campaign for the Sunrisers' camp.
Here we list down four players who shall be imperative in SRH's quest to bring home the IPL title.
#4 Bhuvaneshwar Kumar

The Indian swinger has consistently performed at the highest level. Whether it is IPL or International Cricket, Bhuvaneshwar Bhuvi has got the fans talking with his swing bowling.
The Indian swing master wasn't at his best in 2018 but there is absolutely no denying his qualities as the lead pacer in the exuberant SRH side.
Bhuvaneshwar has 120 IPL wickets to his name which places him in an elite list of all-time leading wicket-takers in the history of the tournament and ardent SRH supporters will hope to see the best of Bhuvaneshwar Kumar in 2019.
#3 Siddharth Kaul

The SRH pacer has been one of the finds of the IPL. If 2017 was Siddarth Kaul’s introduction to the followers of IPL, then 2018 was when Kaul truly made his mark in the cherished T20 tournament.
The high flying pacer troubled oppositions in the 2018 edition as his ability to mix things up created a lot of trouble for many batsmen.
Kaul ended 2018 with 21 wickets, second only to Andrew Tye. Kaul will be in the hunt for the Purple Cap this time around and the SRH devotees will wish that the flying pacer is able to replicate his form from 2018.
#2 David Warner

A player who has it all to win the games on his own, David Warner is a fighter who knows to do a lot of things but giving up isn’t one of them. A dynamic opener is every team’s dream and with David Warner in their side, it’s fair to say that dream is fulfilled for Sunrisers Hyderabad.
Warner missed the last season but the Australian is expected to be back this time around.
The SRH skipper has scored more than 4000 runs in the tournament and holds an impressive average of 40.52
Warner's spirit is what makes him utterly special and the SRH fans adore their skipper for his will and sheer determination to fight for his side till the very end. In situations where the team is asked to chase down massive totals, Warner is the guy who steps up and takes the charge & that is what makes the dynamic Australian an indestructible force.
The returning Australian will have a lot to prove and winning the trophy might be the perfect answer to all his critics.
#1 Rashid Khan

Probably the best T20 bowler in the world and if ICC rankings are to be considered then definitely the best T20 bowler in the world. Rashid Khan has been impressive ever since he donned the SRH jersey and has enticed IPL enthusiasts with his bowling prowess. The Afghan has the capability of changing the entire outcome of the match with a moment of magic.
And yes some of you might not know but Rashid can swing the bat pretty nicely. Rashid's economy rate of 6.68 is mighty impressive considering the number of gigantic totals being scored in IPL on a regular basis.
Whenever the opposition seems to have grabbed a strong hold over the match, Rashid Khan comes to the frame and spoils the party with his mercurial bowling skills! Khan's admirable attributes are not limited to just bowling some mind-boggling spells but also displaying supreme fielding qualities and swinging the bat pretty devastatingly.
A cricketing brain accompanied by some gifted qualities, Rashid Khan belongs to a rare breed of cricketers.
