Jonny Bairstow's form in the last couple of years has been incredible, and his performance in ODIs in 2018 earned him a well deserved place in the ICC ODI Team of the Year. The wicketkeeper-batsman was always expected to be a highly sought-after player at the auction but surprisingly, the Sunrisers Hyderabad acquired him for INR 2.4 crore which makes him a steal.

Bairstow's wicketkeeping abilities will be essential to the team. In addition, he has a wide range of shots and can provide solid and fiery starts to SRH at the top of the order.

With David Warner set to undergo a minor surgery and no news about his return date, Bairstow might be looked at as a short-term replacement. Though he has to return back to England on May 1, the time he has will be more than enough to create a stir.
