SRH are a strange team to figure out. There are some tactical questions that can be asked — Heinrich Klaasen has generally batted too low, with Nitish Kumar Reddy not in strong enough form to warrant batting higher than the South African, especially when the Indian all-rounder’s best contributions came lower down the order for SRH last year. But beyond that, it has just been a confusingly barren spell for SRH’s top order, perhaps best exemplified by Ishan Kishan’s bizarre dismissal in their second loss against MI. Kishan scored a century in his first innings for SRH, but after that, has only managed 33 runs in 7 innings. It’s a miserable run of form, and might be enough to prompt SRH to give a chance to Atharva Taide, or even the vastly experienced Sachin Baby on the back of a solid domestic campaign.
No wonder so many teams are competing for it
