IPL 2020: Strongest Starting XI of all the sides

#4 Sunrisers Hyderabad

SRH shall be hoping their bowling firepower to deliver the goods once again

SRH released some of its best bets before the auction and the ban on Shakib Al Hasan made things worse for the unit. The team addressed these concerns by investing handsomely in young talent, picking up the likes of Virat Singh and Priyam Garg for Rs 1.9 crore apiece. They also picked up international athletes like Mitchell Marsh and Fabien Allen.

Let's take a look at the strongest starting team of the Sunrisers:

SRH's Strongest Starting XI: David Warner, Jonny Bairstow, Kane Williamson (c), Manish Pandey, Vijay Shankar, Abhishek Sharma, Priyam Garg, Rashid Khan, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Sandeep Sharma, Shahbaz Nadeem

SRH has an enviable top order with swashbuckling batsmen who have displayed a great degree of consistency. The middle order of the squad is a bit unsettled, with Manish Pandey being the only regular feature. Youngsters Abhishek Sharma and Priyam Garg present exciting opportunities, which can be capitalized upon under the watchful eyes of VVS Laxman and Trevor Bayliss.

It is the bowling unit that has consistently delivered the goods for the side, and this trend can be expected to continue this year. The new spin combination of Rashid and Nadeem, along with the seam pair of Bhuvi and Sandeep are capable of defending even a below-par score on most of the grounds.

The fierceness of the likes of Warner, Bairstow, and Rashid, combined with the calm and sagacious Kane Williamson can help the side to emulate the feat of 2016.
