IPL Auction 2019 strategy: Sunrisers Hyderabad

#2 Wicketkeeper

Mohammed Shahzad(77)

Shreevats Goswami is the only recognized wicketkeeper in the current squad after the release of injury-plagued Wriddhiman Saha. IPL is a long tournament and has its fair share of injury problems along the way, hence a backup for every position is a must have.

Wriddhiman Saha underwhelmed last season scoring 122 runs at an average of 15.25 in 11 matches, too low production for a guy who is being paid Rs 5 crore per season for his services. Shreevats Goswami is a solid player who was elected the then 'best Under-19 player' in 2008 IPL season but still lacks big game experience.

Mohammed Shahzad can provide both top-order stability and safe wicketkeeping option, on the Indian front SRH can bid for either of Naman Ojha or Wriddhiman Saha, both who have plyed their trade for Sunrisers in the past.
