Sunrisers Hyderabad is arguably one of the strongest teams in the Indian Premier League. They are one of the few teams that could chase and defend any total. However, they will miss their prominent opener, Shikhar Dhawan, in the next IPL season.

Dhawan was their best opener and played several sizzling knocks for Hyderabad in the IPL. But, the left-hander decided to leave the franchise and joined Delhi Daredevils ahead of IPL 2019.

Kane Williamson, who scored 735 runs from 17 games including 8 fifties during the previous edition of the IPL, has been in great touch. Warner, who was the leading run-scorer in the 10th season of the IPL and played a major role for SRH, would look to make a strong comeback in the IPL.

Even though they have a lot of specialist openers in the form of Jonny Bairstow and Martin Guptill, SRH might go with Warner and Williamson.
