SunRisers Hyderabad had an average IPL season in 2022. They started the season with two back-to-back defeats but then they rose to the upper half of the points table with five consecutive wins. SRH could have qualified for the playoffs had they continued their winning momentum, but they lost multiple matches and were knocked out of the competition.
Not many cricket experts gave the SunRisers Hyderabad a chance to make it big in IPL 2022 when the competition began, but everyone was impressed when they were on a five-match winning streak. Nevertheless, some new players like Nicholas Pooran, Aiden Markram, and Rahul Tripathi had a memorable season with the SunRisers Hyderabad.
Even Umran Malik and Bhuvneshwar Kumar impressed in the bowling department, but some big names failed to make an impact this season. It is not that they are bad players, but their form was not the best in IPL 2022. Still, SRH must back them because they are match-winners. In this listicle, we will look at three such players.
1. SunRisers Hyderabad may retain Kane Williamson
SunRisers Hyderabad’s captain Kane Williamson had the worst season of his IPL career in 2022. He scored 216 runs in 13 matches at a strike rate of 93.50. Because of his elbow injury, Kane was not at his best, but he can be backed to fire all cylinders once he is 100% fit.
2. SunRisers Hyderabad may retain Abdul Samad
Abdul Samad was retained by SRH for 4 crores, but he played only two matches, scoring four runs at a strike rate of 57.14. Samad is still young and has the talent, which is why SRH should back him.
3. Kartik Tyagi
Ace fast bowler Kartik Tyagi also played only two matches for SRH, where he picked up a solitary wicket and conceded runs at almost 10 runs per over. Tyagi has the potential to make it big. Thus, SRH should think of retaining him.
