Sunrisers Hyderabad IPL 2023 Squad: Players to Watchout

#1. Bhuvneshwar Kumar

The swing king has been a prime asset for the Sunrisers since the beginning of their IPL journey. He is their highest wicket-taker with over 100 IPL scalps. Bhuvneshwar Kumar was a major factor in their 2016 IPL title win and SRH would like for him to repeat his mastery with the ball this season.

#2. Glenn Phillips

This Kiwi wicket-keeper has impressed many with his batting in international cricket. A great fielder with the ability to take the game away from the opposition, Phillips will be a key in SRH’s performance in the 2023 season.

#3. Washington Sundar

Sundar has shown tremendous skills with the bat in recent times against top playing nations in the world. His spin is pretty effective and he can smash the white ball as a brilliant finisher too. SRH will count on him to be that player who can contribute with both bat and ball.

#4. Aiden Markram

The South African opener is a strong force against any bowling attack, and he has displayed his power on the international level to achieve big numbers. He can be quite dangerous at the top and SRH will need him to give them the right impetus early on in their innings in the IPL 2023.

#5. Rahul Tripathi

This young lad has been pretty fluent with his shots and he gained appreciation from many with the way he played a responsible role in the earlier seasons of the IPL. Rahul Tripathi is a great anchor who can withstand tough times and regain the momentum for his side. He will be vital for the side with the bat in this edition of the IPL.
