3 teams who might pick Yuvraj Singh in the IPL 2019 auction

#2 Sunrisers Hyderabad

Sunrisers Hyderabad

The Sunrisers Hyderabad were one of the best teams last season. They finished on top of the table but then went on to lose to the Chennai Super Kings in the final.

This season, the biggest name they released was Shikhar Dhawan. They also released Alex Hales and Carlos Brathwaite.

While they look for an opener to replace Dhawan, they might also look for someone in the middle-order. They do have Manish Pandey, who will start for sure. Apart from him are players like Deepak Hooda, Vijay Shankar, and Yusuf Pathan.

While Shankar might be used lower down the order, Hooda and Pathan have been quite inconsistent over the past couple of years. A dip in performance from them could leave a hole in the side, which could be filled by someone like Yuvraj.

They have Nabi and Shakib al Hasan too, but given that Warner, Williamson, and Rashid would be in the playing XI for sure, only one of the two would get to play. Hence, Yuvraj could be a worthy addition at no. 5.

Squad: Basil Thampi, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Deepak Hooda, Manish Pandey, Natarajan, Ricky Bhui, Sandeep Sharma, Shreevats Goswami, Siddarth Kaul, Syed Khaleel Ahmed, Yusuf Pathan, Billy Stanlake, David Warner, Kane Williamson, Mohammad Nabi, Rashid Khan, and Shakib Al-Hasan, Vijay Shankar, Shahbaz Nadeem, Abhishek Sharma.
