One batsman each team could sign in IPL Auction 2019

Sunrisers Hyderabad: Naman Ojha

SRH will be eyeing a top-order batsman

Coming into the auction, Sunrisers Hyderabad traded their opening batsman Shikhar Dhawan for the trio of Vijay Shankar, Abhishek Sharma, and Shahbaz Nadeem. With David Warner coming back, he is expected to open the batting with Kane Williamson. Sunrisers also released Wriddhiman Saha in the auction and are left with only Shreevats Goswami, who is an opener, as the only gloveman in their squad.

So, they could be looking for a wicketkeeper-batsman who can do well in the middle-order and Naman Ojha is one name who can do the job perfectly. With Sunrisers's middle-order being fragile, the addition of Naman Ojha could add some strength to the lineup that already has the likes of Manish Pandey, Deepak Hooda, Yusuf Pathan, Vijay Shankar etc.
