Sunrisers Hyderabad - Bhuvneshwar Kumar/Rashid Khan

The SunRisers Hyderabad are, without a doubt, the best bowling side in the league and fittingly possess the best strike bowlers. Bhuvneshwar Kumar has been their mainstay ever since he started playing for them and won the Purple Cap in both 2016 and 2017. Despite an average outing last season, he'll look to start fresh and keep on taking wickets like he usually does.

Bhuvi is primarily their opening bowler and after bowling a couple of overs, he's reserved for the death overs and he somehow manages to balance both the positions with ease. He plays with the batsman's mind and is one of the best death bowlers in the league. He's not the quickest of bowlers but has the tact and accuracy to be a leading strike bowler for the team.

Rashid Khan is another phenomenal bowler who is constantly on the prowl and looking out for wickets. Whenever he steps to the bowling crease, he creates a sense of uncertainty in the batsman's mind and his bowling is becoming harder to read as the days pass by. He's just 21 years old but is remarkably mature and can pick up wickets at any stages of the game and is the bowler to watch out for this season.
