One of the less glamorous teams in the IPL, SRH were dealt a big blow when their marquee signing for the season Kevin Pietersen, decided to play county cricket instead. Another Englishman Eoin Morgan's horrendous form and bargain buy Kane Williamson's out of touch displays at the World Cup is also a cause of concern.Ravi Bopara and Moises Henriques are good all rounders however and should provide space for an extra batsmen in the side.
Warner should open the innings along with Dhawan, given Aaron Finch's departure to MI. I believe the Aussie should follow McCullum's example and return to his explosive best. Shikar Dhawan has been relieved of captaincy duties and this should only help play freely.Williamson is the perfect no 3 followed by India's promising L Rahul.They will have to go in with Indian batsmen keeping in mind the overseas quota. Also do you go in with a opening bowl partnership of Steyn and Boult sacrificing an allrounder in Henriques or play the extra spinner in Rasool or go in with 4 seamers ? Getting a well balanced team could prove to be difficult for SRH and i dont see them qualifying from the group stage.
