At the Indian Premier League (IPL) auction in Dubai in 2024, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) supporters will be happy with the purchases made by their crew. With the intention of performing well in the forthcoming league, which is anticipated to return in March, the franchise spent INR 30.80 crore and brought in notable international players including Travis Head, Pat Cummins, and Wanindu Hasaranga.
Over the previous three seasons, the Orange Army failed in every aspect of the game; however, this year, they aim to win the trophy for their followers and demonstrate discipline. In the batting division, they have players with experience and skill who can turn the tide of a game, like Travis Head, Mayank Agarwal, Aiden Markram, Heinrich Klaasen, and Rahul Tripathi.
Their main issue during the previous season was their bowling, which appeared to be utterly rhythmical. The 2016 winners want to achieve ideal outcomes in the forthcoming competition after strengthening their bowling team. In anticipation of the 2024 IPL, cricket enthusiasts, let’s talk about three bowlers that could be significant contributors to the SRH.
Three bowlers in the SRH to keep an eye on are listed below.
1. Mayank Markande
With 12 wickets in 10 games at an economy of 7.89, Mayank Markande had a respectable 2023 season for the Sunrisers. He bowled a few match-winning spells and tried his best to help his team win during their trying times. The upcoming season will likely see the 26-year-old become more confident with the ball.
The leggie seemed confident when he was hitting the ball in recent domestic white-ball competitions like the Vijay Hazare Trophy and the 2023–24 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy (SMAT). In six matches, he claimed nine wickets at a cost-effective economy of 4.83 while playing for Punjab in the Vijay Hazare Trophy.
2. Bhuvneshwar Kumar
Bhuvneshwar Kumar isn’t currently playing for Team India, but in the 2024 Indian Premier League, his supporters will get to witness him don the SRH uniform. Despite not appearing to be as economical or a reliable wicket-taker as he previously was, the veteran bowler ended up being the highest wicket-taker for SRH in the 2023 season.
Bhuvneshwar will be expected to lead the team in early breakthroughs and open bowling. In five matches during the 2023–24 Vijay Hazare Trophy, the 34-year-old showed off his excellent ball handling skills for Uttar Pradesh, taking 11 wickets at an economy rate of 4.96.
3. Pat Cummins
Pat Cummins made headlines after SRH paid an incredible INR 20.50 crore for him. As he led his country to an amazing 2023 World Cup victory in India, the standout Australian player may be named team captain.
The seasoned Australian cricketer can destroy opponents alongside Bhuvneshwar and the youthful Umran Malik. In the Indian Premier League, the 30-year-old has taken 45 wickets at an economy rate of 8.54 in 42 matches.
