Sunrisers Hyderabad batting has been below par so far this season. They haven't been able to start well nor they have accelerated in the middle overs. David Warner will be the key player for SRH. There is a case of getting Kane Williamson in place of Jonny Bairstow to strengthen the middle order, however, it will be subject to his fitness.
Manish Pandey has played two underwhelming knocks, which might be because there aren't any power-hitter coming in after him. That's where SRH has lagged since they don't have any experienced finishers in the team. Jason Holder will be a crucial player in the lower order.
