IPL 2019: Ranking the teams based on their bench strength

#1 Sunrisers Hyderabad

SRH have the strongest bench strength for the upcoming season

Even after having such a strong starting eleven, SRH has the best bench strength among all the teams. They have some really good reserve players in all the departments.

SRH have two brilliant reserve openers in form of Martin Guptill and Jonny Bairstow while Shreevats Goswami will be their backup wicket-keeper who can open the innings as well.

They have two tremendous all-rounders like Mohammed Nabi and Deepak Hooda as backup all-rounders and they also have the young and talented Abhishek Sharma who has shown us some glimpses of his potential last season while playing for the Delhi Capitals. These hard-hitting all-rounders will not only strengthen their batting but their bowling as well.

SRH have always had a strong bowling line up and this season too they are not short of talented bowlers. They have Khaleel Ahmed, Billy Stanlake, Basil Thampi, and T Natrajan as their fast bowling reserves and Shahbaz Nadeem as a spin reserve.

Expected Starting XI:

David Warner, Wriddhiman Saha, Kane Williamson, Manish Pandey, Yusuf Pathan, Shakib Al Hasan, Vijay Shankar, Rashid Khan, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Siddharth Kaul and Sandeep Sharma
