IPL 2019: 5 Players to watch out for

#1 Jonny Bairstow (Sunrisers Hyderabad)

Jonny Bairstow had a breakout year in 2018. The English batsman was one of the leading run scorers of the year with 1025 runs to his name from just 22 ODI matches. His most notable performances came against New Zealand, Scotland, and Australia. He finished the year with a total of 4 centuries and 2 half centuries.

With David Warner’s return to the franchise this year, it will be exciting to the see Bairstow and Warner open the batting. This could make for a very interesting dynamic and given his recent form, he is expected to set the tournament ablaze with his amazing batting skills making him the biggest the player to watch out for in this edition of the Indian Premier League.

If ever given a chance to change a storyline, Sunil would have booked Roman Reigns to end The Undertaker’s WrestleMania streak instead of Brock Lesnar. According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker. He would’ve also made that as Taker’s final match.
