Sunrisers Hyderabad
The reformed Hyderabad franchise has had a wonderful 2013. They reached the play-offs but were defeated by Rajasthan. They do need a few players to strengthen the promise and it would be interesting to see whom they retain and also bid for.
Following are the ones Sunrisers Hyderabad are likely to retain.
1. Shikhar Dhawan: The Indian opener has been one of the rising young stars in the current Indian side. He is in top form and has scored five ODI tons in 2013. Dhawan is in the form of his life.
2. Dale Steyn: The world’s most dreaded pacer has been the nightmare for the batsmen. Quick and on the target, he can swing the ball both ways. A major force in their bowling department, Hyderabad should keep him in their side.
3. Thisara Perera: The Sri Lankan star has been an impact player for the franchise, and a genuine match-winner for the team. In the 2013 auction, Sunrisers grabbed Perera for USD 675,000
4. Cameron White: An important player in the side, White can give it a go in T20 cricket. Not only that, but his sound cricketing mind should also be factored in.
5. Quinton de Kock: The young wicket-keeper has shown his quality in recent times and Hyderabad may want to invest in this tyro now. .
