IPL 2021: Predicting Playing XI of Sunrisers Hyderabad
The overseas talent in SRH has good experience and has been playing in IPL for many years. Warner and Bairstow will start the batting, as every year, or what the management would do here would be playing Saha at the top with Bairstow and then Warner at No.3. Jason Holder is a top performer and can get a nod ahead of Williason due to his capability to contribute in both departments. He or Nabi would start the season as an all-rounder. Rashid is the star bowler and he will ofcourse be a part of the playing XI. Talking about the Indian players in this team; Kedar or Saha can play the first game too.
