IPL 2023: Former India opener Aakash Chopra has praised Sunrisers Hyderabad’s bowling assault ahead of the start of the Indian Premier League on March 31. On Sunday, April 2, SRH will kick off their IPL season against Rajasthan Royals at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad.
Chopra was ecstatic to watch SRH’s star-studded bowling pedigree. Hyderabad purchased international talents like as Adil Rashid (INR 2 crore) and Akeal Hosein at a mini-auction in December (INR 1 crore). They also hired Harry Brook (INR 13.25 crore), Mayank Agarwal (INR 8.25 crore), and Heinrich Klaasen (INR 8.25 crore) (INR 5.25 Crore).
“This bowling team has an all-star lineup. Fazalhaq Farooqi, Marco Jansen, Kartik Tyagi, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Umran Malik, and T Natarajan are among the fast bowlers. “They have Mayank Markande, Akeal Hosein, Washington Sundar, and Adil Rashid as spinners,” Chopra stated on JioCinema’s ‘AakashVani’ show.
The 45-year-old went on to say that their bowling is their strength and that they are the only side with an all-India bowling assault.
“The fast-bowling unit and overall bowling unit are looking fantastic. Their bowling is their strongest suit because they are likely the only team in the competition capable of fielding an all-India bowling attack,” Chopra noted.
Chopra believes they might have a full fast-bowling team made up of Indian players, with Adil Rashid as an attacking option.
“They can go with Adil Rashid if they want.” Otherwise, if you want to go with four fast bowlers and a spinner, you can have T Natarajan, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Umran Malik, and Kartik Tyagi make up the entire fast bowling unit. All four are capable of making the Lineup,” Chopra remarked.
In addition to South Africa’s Marco Jansen, the cricketer-turned-commentator said that Hyderabad may feature three Indian seamers in their starting Eleven. He also mentioned that Washington Sundar and captain Aiden Markram may provide some overs. As Kane Williamson was removed from the team in 2022, Markram was given the captaincy duties for the 2023 edition.
“You can play three of the four, and then you can bring in a spinner in the form of Washington Sundar, who also bats, and then Marco Jansen and Aiden Markram for some bowling. Abhishek Sharma bowls some left-arm spin as well,” Chopra noted.
