IPL 2021: Rating the bowling line-up of all the teams

4. Sunrisers Hyderabad – 8.5

SRH just edges PBKS on the list as all their bowlers have IPL experience and have proven themselves at some stage of the tournament. Their bowling has always been their strength and it was no different last year as they conceded at just 7.7 throughout the season and picked up 91 wickets. Their bowling attack will be similar to last season and the only additions they have made to their squad are Jagadeesha Suchith and Mujeeb Ur Rahman.

They will mostly play just one specialist spinner in their XI in the form of Rashid Khan and might end up including Nadeem or Mujeeb in case the pitch favours spin. One of Abdul Samad and Abhishek Sharma will have to contribute with the ball as the second spinner and sixth bowler as well.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar has regained full fitness and will lead their pace attack comprising of T Natarajan, Sandeep Sharma, and Jason Holder. Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Sandeep Sharma are excellent with the new ball and have the ability to move it both ways, while Jason Holder and T Natarajan will complement Rashid Khan during the middle overs. Bhuvneshwar and Natarajan are two of India’s finest death bowlers, on paper, their bowling attack looks really good. Khaleel Ahmed and Siddarth Kaul are good backups to have in the squad.
