IPL auction 2020: One bowler that each team would look to sign

Sunrisers Hyderabad - Chris Jordan

Jordan has played for SRH in the past.

SRH have a habit of putting together quiet yet successful auctions, usually being the shrewdest team at the table. They released just 5 players ahead of the auction and apart from lacking a good middle-order batsman, they look quite settled.

But there was one other issue which they encountered last season, and which might prompt them to get a backup pacer like Chris Jordan. Bhuvneshwar Kumar's injury and poor run of games affected the team a lot and barring Khaleel Ahmed, none of the SRH pacers managed to inspire confidence.

With Billy Stanlake being injury-prone, someone like Jordan might be able to provide them with the required backup firepower.

He is in good form for both country and franchise and has asserted his place in the national T20I setup. He did well for the Maratha Arabians in the T10 League and also for the Trinbago Knight Riders in CPL 2019.

Jordan has picked up more than 175 T20 wickets and is a very experienced campaigner. He bowls well at the death and is also a clean striker of the ball, with the ability to bat at No. 7 or No. 8 for the side.

SRH's bowling attack is pretty strong already, but signing someone like Jordan would give them additional flexibility.
