3 players that SRH might retain in the IPL next season

Sunrisers Hyderabad was the worst-performing team in the Indian Premier League this year. SRH played a total of 7 matches in the IPL this season, managing to win only 1. Recently, SRH dropped Australian cricketer David Warner from the starting XI. Furthermore, the SRH management handed over SRH’s captaincy to Kane Williamson. The SRH management will want to retain only the most important players for the IPL next season. That said, here are 3 players that SRH might retain in the IPL next season:

3. Manish Pandey

Manish Pandey did not have the best time in the IPL this year. In 5 matches in the IPL this year, Pandey managed to amass only 193 runs in total. However, there is a high possibility that SRH might retain Pandey for the IPL next season. Pandey was one of SRH’s most successful players in IPL 2020. In just 16 matches in IPL 2020, Pandey racked up an impressive 425 runs in total. SRH fans will expect Pandey to bounce back and be at his best in the IPL next season.

2. Bhuvneshwar Kumar

Another Indian player that SRH might retain in the IPL next season is Bhuvneshwar Kumar. Bhuvneshwar Kumar endured a dismal outing in the IPL this year. In 5 matches in the IPL this year, Kumar managed to scalp only 3 wickets in total. However, Bhuvneshwar Kumar is one of the most successful bowlers in IPL history. In 126 matches in his IPL career, Bhuvneshwar Kumar has scalped an impressive 139 wickets in total. Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s experience will certainly add value to the SRH side in the IPL next season.

1. Rashid Khan

Afghanistan cricketer Rashid Khan is arguably SRH’s most crucial player in the IPL. In 7 matches in IPL 2021, Khan scalped a total of 10 wickets for SRH. Furthermore, his superb bowling economy of just 6.14 in IPL 2021 clearly highlights his effectiveness as a bowler. The 22-year-old can also fire with the bat whenever needed. The SRH management will definitely want to retain Rashid Khan in the IPL next season.
