IPL 2019: 4 tentative favorites to lift the trophy this year

#1 Sunrisers Hyderabad

The return of David Warner will do wonders to the team's morale

One of the strongest teams to watch for is Sunrisers Hyderabad. SRH have been brilliant over the past few seasons, even winning the majestic trophy in 2016.

The team from Hyderabad were without their star batsman and captain, David Warner, in the previous edition, but still managed to reach the finals where they were defeated by Chennai Super Kings.

This season the orange army is back and the great news for SRH fans is that David Warner will be available. The squad is loaded with quality match winners and it might not be an overstatement to call them the early favourites for the tournament.

In Rashid Khan, they surely have one of the best T20 spinners in the world. The likes of Jonny Bairstow, Martin Guptill and Kane Williamson provide ample firepower to this dynamic squad. And the presence of Indian starlets in Manish Pandey and Bhuvneshwar Kumar does give SRH an edge over others.
