Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) are placed in group b alongside CSK, RCB, PBKS and Gujarat Titans. The 2016 IPL champions kick off their IPL 2022 campaign against Rajasthan Royals (RR) at the MCA Stadium in Pune on March 29. It is the fifth game of the campaign and the first game for the respective teams. The franchise finished last in the IPL 2021 campaign and would look to come up with a better performance.
IPL 2022 will be a 10-team event with two new franchises, Lucknow Supergiants and Gujarat Titans being added onto the IPL fold. 74 matches played within 65 days across four venues in Maharashtra. Wankhede and DY Patil Stadium will host 20 matches each while the Brabourne stadium in Mumbai and MCA Stadium in Pune will play hosts to 15 games each. Ahead of SRH’s first game against the Royals, we take a look at three bowlers who can win the purple cap for them in IPL 2022.
IPL 2022: 3 Players From Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) Who Can Win Purple Cap
Bhuvneshwar Kumar
The franchise bought back Bhuvi in the IPL2022 mega auction. He won the purple cap during SRH’s campaign-winning season in 2016. He followed it by bagging another purple cap in 2017. In recent times, the veteran Indian bowler has been troubled by injuries. If he is fit and available for the whole season, Bhuvi can end up as the highest wicket-taker of the season. Overall he has taken 142 wickets out of which 118 are for SRH.

Marco Jansen
After a promising season with Mumbai Indians, Maco Jansen was released by the franchise. This gave SRH a chance to bag him in the IPL 2022 mega auction. Jansen bowled with pace in the Test series against India recently which propelled Hyderabad to bid for him at the auction.
T Natarajan
Natarajan along with Bhuvi will be the two spearheads for SRH. He has fully recovered from his knee injury and has started training ahead of the season. The left-arm pacer was out of the game since the last IPL and thus form will be a concern for Natarajan. However, he has got immense potential to end up as the Purple Cap winner.
