2. Sunrisers Hyderabad
The franchise from the south is one of the most consistent sides in the history of IPL. They have almost retained their core group of players – 22 going ahead into the IPL 2021 auction. However, they will look for an experienced finisher in their middle-order.
The likes of Abdul Samad, Priyam Garg, and Abhishek Sharma showed a lot of potential in IPL 2020 but lacked experience where Kedar Jadhav’s experience will come in handy for the franchise. VIjay Shankar has some experience under his belt but he is yet to find his golden touch.
Thus, Jadhav can provide the much-needed impetus in the Sunrisers Hyderabad middle-order and can also don the hat of the sixth bowling option.
1. Royal Challengers Bangalore
Along with their bowling, Bangalore have always struggled due to lack of depth in their batting order. After the departure of skipper Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers, their batting looks wide open with any attack having the ability to run down their ranks.
The franchise had pinned high hopes on young all-rounder Shivam Dube but he failed to live up to the expectations. This is where Kedar Jadhav can come in handy for the Royal Challengers. With a significant amount of experience under his belt, the all-rounder from Maharashtra can provide stability in the batting-order even after Kohli and AB de Villiers’ dismissal and can play the long handles in the death overs.

Jadhav’s utility comes in handy as he also dons the hat of the sixth bowler with his effective side-arm off-spin. Kohli will certainly have his eyes on the veteran all-rounder when his name comes out of the hat.
