IPL 2018: Spinner the 8 teams are banking on
Here we look at the spin bowling prowess of all the eight teams for IPL 2018.
Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH):
The 2016 champions have done a great job in this year’s auction by picking a strong bowling unit. SRH’s spin arsenal looks solid with Afghan Rashid Khan spearheading it along with the veteran Shakib Al Hasan, who has 43 wickets in his kitty. Yusuf Pathan, the experienced middle-order batsman who also migrated from KKR to SRH along with Shakib this year, is a handy off-break bowler in the middle overs. Besides, there are Mohammad Nabi, Bipul Sharma, Deepak Hooda and local teenage hero Mehdi Hasan who can prove to be crucial.
Pros: SRH have an exciting bunch of spinners in IPL 2018 who can make it difficult for any opponent on a given day. The spinners have 127 IPL wickets among them and some of their all-round abilities give their side an added edge.
Cons: The top spinners are foreigners and the four-foreigners rule would restrict the SRH management’s capacity to play their best hands.
