IPL 2019 Auction: Sunrisers Hyderabad Bags Wriddhiman Saha for 1.20 Crores

Indian National Cricket team wicket-keeper Wriddhiman Saha will rejoin Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) for the upcoming edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL). Saha, who represented Hyderabad in the last season didn’t feature in the final due to an injury. Moreover, he had a below average tournament which compelled the management to release him before the auction. And now once again, they have roped the service of the Bengal cricketer.

Meanwhile, the right-hander will like to provide stability in the middle order as he can hit the balls with ease. With the likes of Rashid Khan in the team, the franchise will surely need a service of a good wicket keeper. He can stretch his arms and is going to be the best investment for SRH. Wriddhiman Saha is an organised player who has a compact technique and would like to deliver the goods in the Indian Premier League 2019 for Sunrisers Hyderabad.

So far, Wriddhiman Sha had played 115 IPL matches scoring 1679 runs with a healthy strike rate of 129.85. Saha is the only Indian player to score a century in the IPL final. He achieved that landmark in 2014 final while playing for KXIP against KKR. However, he hasn’t played any international game since May 2018 due to injury.

Sunirisers Hyderabad, meanwhile, will regain the service of David Warner, who missed the last edition due to ban. Led by Kane Williamson in the last edition, the team failed to cross the final hurdle and will look to achieve it this season. They have a balanced setup and with the return of Warner in their ranks, they are certainly one of the contenders to lift the trophy this season.
