Despite Sunrisers Hyderabad’s (SRH) horror start to this year’s Indian Premier League (IPL), there is no denying that they are among the most consistent teams in the competition. Right from 2016 to 2020, the Orange Army have made it to the playoffs of the tournament. Although only one of those has resulted in winning the title, they are still among the best sides in the tournament based on recent history.

This time around however, they have had a bad start to the tournament where they have lost the first three matches. Their middle-order has been a huge concern and it has come to hurt them despite the fact that they have been decent with the ball. The side would want to turn things around quickly even as the other sides have already opened their account with at least one win to their names.

“Absolutely amazing” – Kris Srikkanth on Rashid Khan

A key reason for SRH’s continued success has been their bowling and especially the spin attack led by the ever-dependable Rashid Khan. The Afghani spinner has gone from strength to strength ever since his debut and has become one of the side’s biggest assets. Former Indian opener Kris Srikkanth pointed the same out and called the leggie as the most valuable player in the IPL ever.

Srikkanth tweeted, “@rashidkhan_19 you are by far the most valuable player in the IPL ever! Absolute amazing bowling… (sic)” following Rashid Khan’s spell of 0/22 against Mumbai Indians where he kept things tight and prevented the explosive MI batters from freeing their arms.
