IPL Auction 2019: Best pick by each franchise 

#7 Sunrisers Hyderabad - Jonny Bairstow (2.2 crores)

Jonny Bairstow

Sunrisers Hyderabad released some of their top performers ahead of the auction. However, they have made a strong move when they opted to pick England's wicket-keeper batsman. Jonny Bairstow, who was bought for INR 2.2 crore, could be an asset to any team in the limited-overs, especially in the T20 format. He will provide great balance to the team.

Bairstow, who could keep the wickets, has the ability to move anywhere round in the batting line-up. He is currently in great form for his country. Thus far, the right-handed batsman has featured in 96 T20 games and accumulated 1649 runs at a staggering strike-rate of about 130. He also has a T20 century to his name.

Over the years, they lack a hard-hitting batsman in the middle-order and Bairstow could be the answer to this problem. This man will carry a lot of expectations from the team as well as the fans.
