Alex Hales

Alex Hales was roped in the tournament as David Warner's replacement. He hasn't been given a chance till now, but with Billy Stanlake's exit from the tournament, he can fill in the spot of the fourth overseas player. The hard-hitting batsmen can be the answers to SRH's batting problems as the No.7 T20I can bat at the top and lower down the order as a finisher.

His record in T20 is commendable as he has scored 1456 runs in 52 innings at a strike rate of 136.33 making him a good prospect to open the batting with Shikhar Dhawan. His presence at the top would also help in increasing the run-rate in powerplays.
