IPL 2018: 5 players SRH would like to retain

#2 Bhuvneshwar Kumar

Bhuvneshwar Kumar has been the mainstay of the Sunrisers bowling attack over the last four seasons. He does the tough job of bowling in the power-play and in the death overs. He can swing the new ball prodigiously and has a brilliant yorker. He took 26 wickets in the 2016 Indian Premier League season and finished as the highest wicket-taker.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar IPL stats:

2017 - 26 wickets

2016 - 23 wickets

2015 - 18 wickets

2014 - 20 wickets

No bowler in Indian Premier League (IPL) has taken more wickets than Bhuvneshwar Kumar in the last four seasons combined. He has an economy rate of 7 which is excellent for a bowler who bowls in power play and in death.

If he goes into the auction, he could cost a fortune for any team that wishes to take him. SRH will not be likely to take that risk.
