IPL 2019: Strongest possible XI for Sunrisers Hyderabad

#2 Wriddhiman Saha

After being released before the auctions, Wriddhiman Saha was bought back by the Sunrisers at the auction. Saha, who is considered to be the best gloveman in the country, had a decent IPL 2018 for the Sunrisers. Unfortunately, he got injured in the latter half of tournament and is out of action since then, Saha is expected to be fit by the time IPL begins. And even though Johnny Bairstow will be around to give him tough competition, with Warner, Williamson, Shakib and Rashid slotting in as the four overseas players, Saha is likely to be preferred behind the stumps.

#3 Kane Williamson

Kane Williamson

Very few people gave Sunrisers a chance last season after it was confirmed that David Warner would miss the IPL. However, Kane Williamson replaced Warner in every regard. Apart from his leadership acumen, the Kiwi skipper had a breakthrough season with the bat. He finished with 735 runs in 17 matches and played some stunning knocks in the season. Williamson, once again, will be key to SRH's chances this year too. And even though Warner is back in the side, in all likeliness, he will continue leading the team.
