IPL 2023: Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) set out to strengthen their team at the IPL 2023 auction in Kochi last month following a pair of underwhelming seasons. After everything was said and done, it was believed that they had emerged as a contented and prosperous group with a number of significant secondary benefits.
With the significant additions of Harry Brook and Heinrich Klaasen, they not only strengthened their middle order but also their Indian core by bringing Mayank Agarwal into the mix. They chose Akeal Hosein and Adil Rashid as a pair of foreign spinners because their Indian pace stocks appeared to be as reliable as ever.
In general, a quick look at the SRH team indicates that they have a potent team for the IPL 2023. The 2016 champions, who have the ideal combination of youth and experience in their ranks, may soon see their good times resume.
Speaking of youth, the league’s clubs are always distinguished from one another by the play of their young Indian players. In light of that, let’s take a closer look at three SRH rookies who might have a breakthrough IPL 2023 season.
IPL 2023: Here are 3 Youngsters from SRH Who might Shine this Season
1. Kartik Tyagi
Kartik Tyagi may not consistently make the starting Eleven for SRH in the IPL 2023 due to their embarrassing wealth of Indian fast bowlers. The lanky seamer from Uttar Pradesh arrives with wheels and a powerful yorker despite having sustained numerous ailments over the years.
The Impact Player rule is a crucial element to take into account before the new season. This regulation may result in Tyagi receiving a regular run in the IPL in 2023 because Bhuvneshwar Kumar isn’t quite the death bowler he once was and T Natarajan is also prone to injuries.
It creates a huge window of opportunity to pick up wickets in a stage where batters frequently take disproportionate risks, even if he is required to bowl their yorkers at the finish. A strong performance in the final overs might propel him to the Indian squad as well.
2. Vivrant Sharma
It is well known that SRH has a tradition of using talent from Jammu and Kashmir. All-rounder Vivrant Sharma, who they paid 2.6 crore for at the IPL 2023 auction, is the most recent addition to this roster.
Few teams can match Vivrant’s combination of leg spin bowling and hard-striking left-handed batsman. To put it mildly, it is a very appealing possibility, and the excitement surrounding the 23-year-old all-rounder is palpable. Another compelling argument is made for Vivrant to be a key figure for the SunRisers.
A breakout season might just put him in the spotlight for the selectors. Indian cricket is currently in need of a frontline batter who bats left-handed and bowls useful overs.
3. Abdul Samad
In 2020, when Abdul Samad played for SRH in his first IPL season, his easy six-hitting prowess was on full display. India appeared to have an exceptional ability to draw from after demonstrating the same against elite fast bowlers in the league and earning a reputation for being a spin-hitter.
His use (or absence thereof) by the SRH think-tank has, however, become less and less coherent over time. Samad needs more support than the two IPL 2022 appearances he received due to his finisher position. Ahead of the IPL 2023, the SunRisers have demonstrated their confidence in him by keeping him on staff.
He might have a significant part to play lower in the pecking order, and this year might be the one he reaches adulthood and sets himself forward for future challenges.
