Sunrisers Hyderabad predicted XI for IPL 2021

Bowlers: Rashid Khan, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Shahbaz Nadeem, T Natarajan

Rashid Khan might just be the best T20 bowler in the world at the moment

Rashid Khan is in a league of his own when it comes to spin bowling in T20 cricket, and he'll lead the SRH bowling attack once again in IPL 2021. He might want to contribute a touch more with the bat, as he is certainly more capable in that department than his numbers suggest.

The pace attack will see two familiar names in Bhuvneshwar Kumar and T Natarajan, who form a deadly partnership at the death. SRH should've added an Indian spinner in the IPL 2021 auction, but they failed to do so. With both Samad and Abhishek being rather unreliable with the ball last year, they'll have to fall back on Shahbaz Nadeem.

Jagadeesha Suchith is another option, and the left-arm spinner would add some depth to the batting lineup as well. However, he is signficantly less experienced, and hasn't featured regularly in the IPL recently.

Unfortunately, there seems to be no place for either Mujeeb Ur Rahman or Mohammad Nabi in the SRH playing XI for IPL 2021. Khaleel Ahmed and Siddarth Kaul will wait for their opportunities from the bench as well.
