IPL 2021: 4 Overseas Players Of Sunrisers Hyderabad Who Might Be Benched Throughout The Season

Sunrisers Hyderabad will play their first match in IPL 2021 against Kolkata Knight Riders. The match will be played at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. Sunrisers Hyderabad qualified for playoffs in IPL 2021. They lost to Delhi Capitals in the Qualifier 2 match which ended their journey in the tournament.

Sunrisers Hyderabad made minor changes to the team in IPL 2021 auction. The franchise retained most of its players ahead of the auction. Billy Stanlake, Sandeep Bavanaka, Fabian Allen, Sanjay Yadav, and Prithviraj Yarra were the 5 players who were released by Sunrisers Hyderabad ahead of the IPL 2021 auction. Later, the team bought only 3 players during IPL 2021 auction. They were Kedar Jadhav, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, and J Suchith.

David Warner is going to lead Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL 2021 and he will take a permanent overseas spot in the team. Hence there are only 3 more overseas spots for playing 11 and thus there is tough competition among players. Here we look at 4 overseas players of Sunrisers Hyderabad who might be benched during IPL 2021.

IPL 2021: 4 Overseas Players Of Sunrisers Hyderabad Who Might Be Benched Throughout The Season

Mitchell Marsh

Mitchell Marsh played only 1 match in IPL 2020 for Sunrisers Hyderabad. He did not score any runs in the match. He has been absent from IPL 2019, IPL 2018, and IPL 2017. Before IPL 2020, he last played a match in IPL 2016. Marsh played only 1 match last season and Sunrisers Hyderabad might bench him throughout IPL 2021.

Mohammad Nabi

Mohammad Nabi is another player who played only one match for Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL 2020. He scored 11 runs but was unable to get a wicket in his 4-overs spell. So Nabi can again be overlooked in IPL 2021 and he might be benched throughout IPL 2021.

Mujeeb Ur Rahman

Sunrisers Hyderabad bought Mujeeb Ur Rahman during IPL 2021 auction. Mujeeb Ur Rahman is a spinner. However, Rajasthan Royals already have Rashid Khan in the team who has impressed the team with his magical spin. He was the highest wicket-taker for the Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL 2020. Sunrisers Hyderabad are highly likely to go with Rashid Khan in IPL 2021 too so Mujeeb Ur Rahman might be benched throughout the season.

Jason Holder

Jason Holder is another player who might be benched during IPL 2021. Jason Holder is an all-rounder but Sunrisers Hyderabad have Vijay Shankar for that spot. Jason Holder did not play all the matches in IPL 2020. With overseas players like Kane Williamson, David Warner, and Rashid Khan in the squad, Jason Holder might have to lose his selection in the playing 11 of Sunrisers Hyderabad.
