Yusuf Pathan and Deepak Hooda embrace after carrying their team past the finish line.
The Sunrisers Hyderabad have a lot of talented players in their middle order but they failed to deliver last season and that was their one particular area of concern. Following the recruitment of Vijay Shankar and Abhishek Sharma, even that seems settled for the SRH side.

They have a strong top order with big names like David Warner, Kane Williamson and Jonny Bairstow, with star batsman Manish Pandey is expected to follow. Shakib Al Hasan, their all-rounder, has had fitness issues and remains a doubt for this season.
Nevertheless, they have good finishers in the form of Shankar, who has made it big in the Indian team, in addition to Yusuf Pathan and Deepak Hooda. The latter failed to click last season and will hope to turn their fortunes around this season. They also have young Abhishek Sharma who impressed in the chances he got last season.
Afghan leggie Rashid Khan can bat and he can help them out with some quick runs in tight situations.
