IPL 2020: Best overseas combination for each team

Sunrisers Hyderabad

Mohammad Nabi needs to play for SRH.

Best Overseas Combination: David Warner, Jonny Bairstow/Kane Williamson, Mohammad Nabi, and Rashid Khan

SRH's Ideal XI: David Warner, Jonny Bairstow/ Kane Williamson, Manish Pandey, Priyam Garg/ Wriddhiman Saha(if Bairstow is benched), Vijay Shankar, Virat Singh, Mohammad Nabi, Rashid Khan, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Siddharth Kaul, and Khaleel Ahmed

Sunrisers Hyderabad's overseas combination is perhaps the most complicated in the league since they have three of the world's best overseas batsmen in their squad. While David Warner is sure to hold on to this place after winning the Orange Cap last season, Bairstow might drop to the bench and be replaced by Saha if Mohammad Nabi has to play. Skipper Kane Williamson has benched himself on occasions to maintain the team balance, and even he could be dropped to play Nabi.

SRH haven't addressed their middle-order issues and have banked on youngsters like Virat Singh and Priyam Garg to do the job for them. Mitchell Marsh isn't a great signing, and he's likely to remain on the bench for most of the season.

Rashid Khan is the best bowler in the side and he's sure to play. But the Afghan talisman doesn't have any quality Indian spinner to support him, and that's why SRH should play Mohammad Nabi. It's a surprise that Nabi isn't a first-choice player considering that he's the No.1 T20 all-rounder in the ICC Rankings.

With this much competition for the overseas spots, it's a given that the likes of Fabian Allen and Billy Stanlake remain backup options.
