Sunrisers Hyderabad- Sam Billings

SRH had the best opening partnership in the league but they weren't able to go far last season as they were overdependent on them last season. They didn't have a solid middle-order last season as neither Vijay Shankar, Yusuf Pathan nor Deepak Hooda were able to score consistently. That's why SRH need to sign someone like Sam Billings to add a backup to their batting order and bolster their squad.

CSK released Sam Billings ahead of the auction as he was surplus in their squad and didn't have a role even as a backup player. But the versatile English batsman could add value to SRH as he's a very innovative batsman capable of making big scores. He has played in more than 150 T20 games scoring more than 3000 runs and has a penchant for finishing off games.
He is a talented T20 batsman who can double up as a wicket-keeper when required and can be a good backup option for SRH to buy at the auction.
