1- Sunrisers Hyderabad
The 2016 champions and the runner up’s of 2018 season will be the top contenders to lift their second IPL trophy. The team boast of Kane Williamson, leading the charge who can be considered as one of the best leaders in the game currently.
David Warner was retained by the franchise even though he didn’t had much opportunities to prove his worth after getting banned for one year following the in-famous sand-paper gate controversy in South Africa last year. The wounded lion will be hungry for runs and this is allready a danger signal for every opposition.
The franchise consists some of the big names like Manish Pandey, Jonny Bairstow, Martin Guptill and Yusuf Pathan in the batting order. Impactful all-rounders like Vijay Shankar, Shakib Al Hasan and Mohammad Nabi can contribute for the team in all three departments.
Afghani spin sensation Rashid Khan has a habit of picking wickets in the middle order which dismantles the opposition batting line-up. Pacers like Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Billy Stanlake and Siddharth Kaul can trouble any batting order on the given day.
The team has an experienced coaching unit with the likes of Tom Moody, VVS Laxman and Muttiah Muralitharan who can deploy the off-field strategies for the team.
