IPL 2022: Ranking the teams based on their final squads

9. Sunrisers Hyderabad

The Hyderabad-based franchise had a poor start to the auction as it did not bid for any marquee players. Later on, they tried to take up multiple youngsters as well. The problem with their strategy is that they lack some solid middle-order batsmen.

Nicholas Pooran and Aiden Markram are the big names in their purchase list. But Pooran’s lack of consistency will surely affect the Sunrisers. Adding on, Markram has to play all the games to be effective for Kane Williamson.

The bowling revolves around Marco Jansen and Washington Sundar. Apart from that, Kane will have to use Abhishek Sharma and Shreyas Gopal throughout the season consistently. To make it to the top four, SRH will have to convert those tight matches into victories.
