#3 Bhuvneshwar Kumar (SRH)

Will Bhuvnesh Kumar swing or miss?
Will Bhuvnesh Kumar swing or miss?

Bhuvneshwar Kumar has been an Indian national team mainstay for a while now and his experience as a veteran of the game will be a treasure trove for the Sunrisers. His performance in the IPL has been exemplary, with 120 wickets in 102 games and an economy rate of 7.15.

His high caliber performances have been rewarded as he has won the Purple Cap twice in 2016 and 2017 since he joined with the SRH in 2014.

His form has suffered in recent times partly due to a long run with injuries. This could be an ideal platform for him to make his comeback as he is back to prime fitness. He could very well form the backbone of SRH's bowling line up if he finds his stride and confidence back in time for the crucial matchup.

SRH is having a bit of a bad run with injuries recently with team captain Kane Williamson's fate still undecided due to a shoulder injury.

It is to be hoped that the Uttar Pradesh medium pacer can stay adrift of any mishaps and help his team through to a win.
