RCB acquired Fin Allen for 80 lakhs after an intense biffing ar with Rajasthan Royals. However, as it turned out, they did not play him in a single match in IPL 2022. Now SRH has a good opportunity to rope him in possibly at a lower price since he is still an unknown commodity in the IPL.

He has played in overseas leagues such as the Abu Dhabi T20 League and in The Hundred for Birmingham Phoenix and Southern Brave. Allen is an attacking opening batsman and SRH might give him a good break in the IPL.

2) David Willey

Willey is another player who can be targeted by Sunrisers Hyderabad. As said above Willey played just four matches for RCB and was picked up for 2 crores in the 2022 mega auction. Willey swings the new ball and has also opened the batting for his domestic club Northampton.

He has previously played for CSK in the IPL for whom he picked up just two wickets in 10 games and picked up just one wicket in 11 games for RCB. The left-hander is flexible to bat anywhere in the batting order which SRH can use to their advantage.

3) Siddharth Kaul / Karn Sharma

Both Siddhart Kaul and Karn Sharma have played for Sunrisers Hyderabad previously in the IPL. Kaul played for SRH between 2018-2021 and featured in 43 games for the franchise. He picked 52 wickets for the franchise averaging 26.92. If SRH feels that they would want to make use of Kaul’s abilities with the ball they can go for him. 

Sharma has represented four franchises to date and has played the most games for SRH. He played 46 games for the franchise across a few seasons picking up 36 wickets at an average of 30.81 and an economy of 7.83. Despite picking him for 50 lakhs ahead of IPL 2022, RCB did not give him a game are likely to release him ahead of IPL 2023 auction. Hyderabad can look to rope him once again and make use of his potential
