IPL 2018: Power-hitters for each team who can be the impact players

#2 Alex Hales (Sunrisers Hyderabad)

Alex Hales, England's best T20 batsman was lucky to find an IPL team even after going unsold in the auction this year. Hales was signed as a replacement for David Warner who has to sit out of the IPL following the sandpaper-gate scandal.

Hales surprisingly went unsold in the auction even after being consistent in internationals. A big responsibility rests on his shoulders as he has to fill the boots of a player who has been one of the best batsmen in the IPL.

Hales has played in 174 T20s in which he has scored 4704 runs at an average of 28.85 and a strike rate of 143.54. With enough of T20 experience under his belt, Sunrisers Hyderabad must be hoping that he fires from the top providing the team headstarts just like Warner used to do.
