Bhuvneshwar Kumar is another important player of the Sunrisers team. Fetching crucial breakthroughs at right moments of the game, he is the strike bowler of the Hyderabad team. Kumar has been leading the pace attack of the Indian cricket team for a while now and has been quite successful in bringing the experience from the international level to the Sunrisers' camp.

Kumar has taken more than 20 wickets in every season that he has played for them. Also, playing for SRH he has won 2 purple caps, the most in the IPL for any bowler. Only Dwayne Bravo has an equal number of purple caps to his name. He is the only first player to win it back to back in two consecutive seasons, having won it in 2016 and 2017 editions of the league.

In the 90 matches that he has played in the IPL, he has taken 111 wickets at an impressive economy of 7.08. His performance makes him one of the most valuable players in the IPL and confirms his retention along with David Warner.
