Ever since the year 2016 when SRH had won their first IPL glory, the franchise has become one of the constant teams in the IPL to qualify for the playoffs. Despite losing some elite names during the first half of the IPL 2020, David Warner did not let his team sway away from the top four eventually making his team stand third by the end of the season. Therefore, with their routine affair, the orange army will be anticipated to make it big in the IPL 2021 but would surely this time face strenuous competition from other teams.

Picking their top run-getter each year is hardly a no-brainer because David Warner is the ultimate iceberg on which the entire SRH’s batting floats. Since IPL 2016, Warner has been a 550 plus run bank for SRH and overall averages 40 plus in his IPL career. Overall, he is the IPL’s third-highest run-scorer with over 5000 runs and 48 fifties under his name. Hence, to again soar SRH into the playoffs, a colossal amount of runs will be expected from Warner’s bat.

In terms of picking most wickets, since SRH is a team that predominantly is known to win games with their bowling, there are a lot of contenders who can come at the top. Although the team also has the specialized services of Rashid Khan, with Bhuvneswar Kumar looking ever so fit and fine along with his recent scintillating performances for team India, the pacer does look in the fierce form to win games for SRH. In the recently concluded T20I series against England, Bhuvi was seen being utterly economical with his bowling which also later allowed him to scalp 6 wickets in the three-match ODI series. Hence, such profound performances against a team like England, he does exemplify why he can be seen scalping most wickets for SRH.
