The depth in batting and bowling can help Sunrisers Hyderabad reach the latter stages in the IPL.
Sunrisers Hyderabad will be a more formidable side with the return of the explosive Australian opener DavidWarner, who was serving a one-year ban following a ball-tampering controversy. And, the news could not be more soothing to the fans than the message from him— I am back everyone. Can’t wait for all of you to get behind us.
However, for a team whose fortunes invariably hinged on the brilliance of Warner with the bat and as a leader (he led the team to victory in the 2016 edition), it is not yet clear whether he will be named the captain to replace Kane Williamson. The Kiwi, with his phenomenal consistency and astute leadership, guided the team to the final last year, where it lost to Chennai Super Kings. Sri Lankan spin legend and SRH’s bowling coach Muthiah Muralitharan, during his recent visit to Hyderabad, termed Warner’s return as a major plus. “We have covered all key areas with quality players to be ready for any kind of challenge,” he said.
“There is so much of talent in our team that every one of them is capable of coming good with decisive performances. We have the winning combinations for any given conditions,” Murali said.
