Bhuvneshwar Kumar

Bhuvneshwar Kumar's T20 bowling nous has improved by leaps and bounds due to his time at SRH

One of the main reasons for many terming SRH as a bowling-heavy team, fast bowling spearhead Bhuvneshwar Kumar has become a fan favourite for the one-time IPL champion due to his consistent performances over the years.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar has built up an enviable record for SRH with 109 scalps in 86 matches. Twenty-three of those wickets came in a stellar 2016 season as Bhuvneshwar topped the bowling charts for that particular season and this also meant that his side SRH went on to win the title eventually.

The one aspect that makes Bhuvneshwar special is the fact that he has maintained an outstanding economy rate of 7.41 even after regularly bowling the tough overs during the beginning and end of a season. It is his time at SRH that helped Bhuvneshwar Kumar develop into a superb death overs bowler with experts regularly appreciating his ability to execute pin-point yorkers.

Ashish Nehra

In spite of being out of national reckoning, Ashish Nehra put in impressive performances for SRH and CSK to make a comeback to the Indian team

Many used to say T20 cricket is a young man's game but that has completely changed over the last few years with more and more veterans coming up with superb performances in cricket's youngest format. One such veteran is the left-arm pacer Ashish Nehra. Although Nehra only played 14 matches, he did reasonably well by picking up 17 wickets.

The left-arm pacer adds more variety for this attack as Nehra can be predominantly used as a new-ball option.

Siddarth Kaul

If anything, Siddarth Kaul can be best described as an effective bowler who has always given his best.

Finally, medium-pacer Siddarth Kaul will round off Sunrisers Hyderabad's team of the decade. If any team wants to see a perfect example of a team using the available resources in the best possible way, it would be SRH's utilization of Siddarth Kaul.

Not particularly known for his pace, Kaul developed variations like the knuckle ball and back of the hand delivery and this helped SRH to effectively employ him as a third seamer or first change option on many occasions. A high economy rate of 8.46 runs per over would worry a lot of people but it also reflects the fact that Kaul has been regularly used a death overs bowler.

All said and done, a tally of 43 wickets in 34 matches which places him at 3rd position in the list of highest wicket-takers for SRH certainly warrants a place for Siddarth Kaul.
