Sunrisers Hyderabad
After the disaster of last season, the Sunrises have gone ahead and bolstered their ranks to perform better with the cricket bat. They cleared shop in wholesale out went David Warner, Jonny Bairstow and Rashid Khan, and in come stylish opener Aiden Markram, explosive West Indian Tyro Nicholas Pooran, and fiery pacer Marco Jansen. With a host of domestic players to accommodate this talent and led by one of the sharpest minds in world cricket in the form of Kane Williamson, the Hyderabadis will look to assert themselves in the contest as early as possible.
Rajasthan Royals
The Royals have waited long and hard, and this year it genuinely seems like they have a squad capable to compete for the crown at last. After having a brilliant auction, they have strengthened their squad with the right blend of experience and youth, while keeping their core intact. The squad is one of the most balanced in terms of squad depth, and with Sanju Samson as captain, the Royals hope that they finally find the right balance to win matches where they normally fall short based on past failures.
