8. Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) – Mayank Agarwal and Abhishek Sharma
Rating: 6/10
SRH has been a consistent performer since 2016, but has failed to do so in the last few years. However, the SRH management took a tough call and bid adieu to their skipper and star performer, Williamson, due to his bad form. With many new inclusions in the IPL 2023 mini-auction, SRH has a completely changed setup, and with a stunning middle order to arrive, the openers can have the intent to use the powerplay to the fullest.
With the arrival of Mayank Agarwal, he is expected to open the innings with the talented Abhishek Sharma, who is equally explosive on the other side. They both are expected to give an explosive and stable start to the SRH batting innings.
