#7 Sunrisers Hyderabad
The only thing that can be said against the team selection of the SRH side is the lack of a finisher in their side.
They, like the Royals, are a top-heavy batting order which gets most of the things done with respect to scoring most of the runs.
The likes of Yusuf Pathan and Deepak Hooda are prominent Indian players who have with them the ability to play big shots at the fag end of the innings but they have not been consistent enough.
The experienced overseas players like Shakib Al Hasan and Mohammad Nabi are there, but we don't know how many games they might play given the players available with them.
Rashid Khan has been evolving as a great all-rounder, and it will be interesting to see if the Sunrisers make him a finisher for the side to go with the great bowler that he is.
Expected players who can don the role of a finisher and their T20 strike rates:
- Rashid Khan-152.12
- Yusuf Pathan- 140.84
- Deepak Hooda- 135.18
