IPL 2018: Team wise players worth the Right to Match (RTM) Cards
While the directly retained players' list of the various franchises was announced on January 4, it's yet to be seen how each team utilises their remaining RTMs on the day of the auction.
Sunrisers Hyderabad
2016 IPL winners, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) made a well-calculated move by retaining David Warner and Bhuvneshwar Kumar, both of whom have been phenomenal for the side in the past. As a matter of fact, these two were the cricketers who possessed the orange and the purple cap respectively, in the 2017 edition of the tournament.
RTMs remaining: 3
Players possible:
Rashid Khan: SRH might as well choose to spend one of their remaining RTMs on the Afghan sensation, Rashid Khan. Last time around that the young leg-spinner took the field, he ended up with 17 wickets in his bag in just 14 games, at a commendable average of 21.06.
Siddharth Kaul: 27-year-old Kaul performed well for SRH in 2017, with 16 wickets in 10 matches at an average of 18.75. Retaining him via the RTM may turn out to be a tactically clever move for the SRH if it ensures a smaller hole in the purse.
Shikhar Dhawan: Last but not the least, the ‘Gabbar‘ of Indian cricket will definitely be a strong contender for an RTM card. The ever-aggressive southpaw had scored 479 runs in 14 games in the last IPL, ending the tournament at the third position of the ‘Most Runs’ list.
