2) Sunrisers Hyderabad
SRH is probably the only team that’ll be happy with the postponement of IPL. They were in a terrible spot, languishing at the bottom of the table. Nothing seemed to go their way in the first phase, with just a solitary win from seven games.
Although they have a chance to reset and put things into order, SRH were dealt a major blow when foreign cricket boards decided to deny permission for their players to participate in the cash-rich league. This decision will likely mean that David Warner, Kane Williamson, and Jonny Bairstow will be out of the league.
With two of these having captained the side before, their absence likely means that SRH will have a tough time in appointing the new captain. Luckily for them, however, SRH has a couple of experienced options in Jason Holder and Bhuvneshwar Kumar. They’re likely to be donning the captain’s hat come UAE phase.
