3 changes Sunrisers Hyderabad should make ahead of IPL 2027

Build a strong bowling core

Although SRH's bowling unit had quality, the depth in the department remains a concern. The team relied heavily on its first-choice attack, and the backup options did not always inspire confidence. Bowlers such as Harshal Patel, Jaydev Unadkat, Zeeshan Ansari, Dilshan Madushanka, and Gerald Coetzee were available, but the franchise still lacked a well-established bowling core with reliable backup options.

Successful IPL teams often build a bowling group that can deliver consistently over multiple seasons. SRH should focus on strengthening their reserves and creating healthy competition within the squad to ensure sustained success.
