IPL 2016 Final, RCB vs SRH Playing 11: Probable XI for Royal Challengers Bangalore and Sunrisers Hyderabad

David Warner will lead the SRH in their first ever IPL final

Here is the likely line-up for the Sunrisers Hyderabad

Batting

The Sunrisers Hyderabad too have a strong and experienced batting lineup.Their skipper , David Warner has been in magnificent form throughout the season and is only second to Virat Kohli in the standings for the highest run-scoring batsman, scoring 779 runs from 16 games. He also scored 93 runs to consign the Gujarat Lions to a four wicket defeat in the second qualifier to lead SRH into the final. Apart from Warner, the Sunrisers batting also consists of big hitters like Shikhar Dhawan, Yuvraj Singh, Moises Henriques and Ben Cutting, forming a formidable batting unit.

All-rounders

The Sunrisers Hyderabad all-rounders have not been at their best this season. Moises Henriques has been the pick of the bunch, scoring 178 runs and taking 12 wickets in the process. Yuvraj Singh, is a handy left arm bowler but his abilities have not been required due to the astounding success of the Sunrisers’ bowling unit.

Bowling

The Sunrisers Hyderabad have the best bowling lineup in the IPL. Seam bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar has struck form and is the purple cap holder with 23 wickets from 16 games. Bangladesh fast bowler Mustafizur Rahman has been a revelation this year, keeping out the likes of Trent Boult from the side. Rahman has been very effective, especially in the death overs. He should be fit for this game after missing the previous match due to a hamstring injury. Barinder Sran, who came into the side following Ashish Nehra’s knee injury, has slotted in well and not let the veteran’s absence affect the team.

Probable Playing XI

David Warner (c), Shikhar Dhawan, Moises Henriques, Yuvraj Singh, Deepak Hooda, Ben Cutting, Naman Ojha (wk), Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Barinder Sran, Mustafizur Rahman, Bipul Sharma.
