IPL 2019: Powerplay bowling options for each team

#6 Kings XI Punjab

Shami has been in good form for India

Kings XI Punjab has one of the best bowling units in IPL 2019. They spent heavily on the likes of Varun Chakravarthy, Mohammed Shami, and Sam Curran at the auction. Shami has been in good form for India and is expected to take the new ball for KXIP.

Mujeeb is an uncanny operator in the powerplay overs and Varun is certainly a player to watch out for. Though KXIP prefers to use Tye in the death overs, he could bowl an over or two in the powerplay.

Likely powerplay bowlers: Shami, Tye, Curran/ Mujeeb, and Varun Chakaravarthy.

#5 Sunrisers Hyderabad

Bhuvneshwar Kumar

It is safe to say that Sunrisers Hyderabad have had arguably the best bowling unit in IPL for quite some time. Bhuvneshwar Kumar will lead the bowling attack once again in IPL 2019. Sandeep Sharma has a good IPL record in the powerplay overs. Shakib with his left-arm spin can trouble the batsmen during the first six overs. Kaul and Khaleel are also available for Sunrisers.

Likely powerplay bowlers: Kumar, S Sharma, Shakib, Kaul/ K Ahmed.
