Sunrisers Hyderabad have been one of the smartest teams when it comes to the auction. The core management group of the franchise always seems to have their priorities set. This time around they were in need of a wicket-keeper.

Sunrisers had released Wriddhiman Saha before the auction and were looking to rope in a replacement for him. While they did buy England's Johnny Bairstow, they also got back Wriddhiman Saha, at a price that was much lower than what they paid for him last auction.

There is hardly any doubt about Saha's pedigree as a wicket-keeper but his place in the side as a batsman is questionable. Saha batted at different positions for the Sunrisers last season but couldn't do much with the bat. He scored a paltry 122 runs in 11 matches at an average of 15.25. Moreover, the Indian Test wicket-keeper has been out of cricket for some time due to an injury. With the clouds of form and fitness concerns around Saha, Sunrisers might have got it wrong this time around.
