IPL 2018: Three players SRH could have bought instead of Manish Pandey

3. Dinesh Karthik

Sunrisers Hyderabad’s woes to find a good wicket-keeper capable of batting consistently is well-known to all. They picked Wriddhiman Saha this year in the auction. Although Saha is one of the best keepers in the country, he is not known for his T20 heroics much.

This proved to be the case this year as well where Saha failed miserably with the bat. SRH could have easily invested on Dinesh Karthik instead of Manish Pandey. That would have given them the stability in the middle-order and DK’s form this year has just been amazing. Karthik has scored 498 runs at an average close to 50 for KKR this season and also led the side.
