IPL 2022 Auction: Probable List Of Players Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) Might Target

Openers: Jason Roy, Devdutt Padikkal, Wriddhiman Saha

David Warner and Jonny Bairstow will almost be impossible to replace for the franchise, However, the likes of Roy, Saha and Padikkal can be the ideal replacement. In Roy, they can have an overseas opener who can consistently play for them. The southpaw and the veteran Indian wicketkeeper are also good options. Padikkal especially has risen up the ranks quickly and can be a good buy for the franchise.

Middle-Order- Steve Smith, Suresh Raina, Dawid Malan

Spinners-Yuzvendra Chahal, Kuldeep Yadav, Adil Rashid

Rashid Khan was the constant and the only name in the SRH spin attack. The franchise needs to have at least a few more options in their ranks. Bagging the Indian duo of Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal, they can secure their future. Adil Rashid can be a good investment with him being a leg spinner and an able replacement for the SRH veteran.

Pacers-Mohammed Shami, Avesh Khan, Pat Cummins, Kagiso Rabada, Trent Boult

Bhuvneshwasr Kumar was the Indian pacer who was a regular in the Sunrisers Hyderabad line-up. However, he has lost his form in recent times. The management and the think tank needs to invest in the pace-bowling group keeping the future in mind. Mohammed Shami and Avesh Khan are Indian pacers that the franchise should definitely target.

Among the overseas choices, they need to enter the dog fight if they want to rope in either Cummins, Rabada or Boult. All these three pacers will be on the wishlist of almost all other franchises.

All-Rounders-Mohammad Nabi, Shardul Thakur, Washington Sundar

They have a few choices in terms of all-rounders as well. Nabi was a part of the franchise and is familiar with their culture. Shardul Thakur given his recent performances will be a hot property. Washington Sundar can become a good buy for the franchise, He can open the batting, bat in the middle-order and be a handy off-spinner as well giving the franchise enough options to use him.
