Best XI

Shikhar Dhawan, Alex Hales, Manish Pandey, Kane Williamson, Shakib Al Hasan, Yusuf Pathan, Wriddhiman Saha, Bhuvaneshwar Kumar, Rashid Khan, Sandeep Sharma, Siddhartha Kaul

Strengths

Sunrisers have one of the most complete teams in the IPL and come with explosive batting power packed to the hilt. The batting runs till no. 8 with Rashid Khan also capable of hitting the odd big hit every now and then. Its one of the deepest batting lineups in the IPL. In addition to that, they have the hottest leg-spinner going around in the world right now in Rashid Khan and the superstar of the team Bhuvaneshwar Kumar is capable of doing damage to the opposition in both the early overs as well as the end overs.

Weaknesses

David Warner was an inspirational leader and he will be missed. The pace department is a little weak as there is no one else to share the burden with Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Sandeep Sharma, and Siddhartha Kaul have not set the IPL alight in the past.

Prediction: Anything besides a playoff qualification will be seen as a big disappointment for the Orange Army.
