IPL 2024: Four SRH Youngsters Who Are Expected To Shine This Season
Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) failed to make an impact in IPL 2023 season where they managed to churn our four wins out of the 14 games in the league stage.
As a result, they hit the rock-bottom of the points table, in what was their disastrous performance in history.
The Orange Army has won the title in the IPL 2016 season by beating Royal Challengers Bangalore in the final. They finished IPL 2018 season as the runners-up wherein they lost to Chennai Super Kings in the final.
Sunrisers qualified for the playoffs in IPL 2020 and since then they failed to make it to the top four in the next three seasons. However, they ensured to make appropriate signings in the IPL 2024 auction and will be looking to rekindle their lost spark this time around.
Let’s now take a glimpse at the four SRH youngsters who are expected to do well for the Hyderabad-based franchise in the upcoming season of the Indian Premier League – IPL 2024.
1. Abhishek Sharma
The Hyderabad-based franchise roped in Abhishek Sharma for a whopping INR 6.5 crore in the IPL 2022 mega auction. The hard-hitting lower order batsman didn’t disappoint as he scored 426 runs at a strike rate of 30.43 including two fifties in IPL 2022.
In the subsequent season, his performance took a hit as he could muster 226 runs including 2 fifties. Considering that he is a raw talent, SRH retained the 23-year-old ahead of the IPL 2024 auction and will surely be someone to keep an eye on.
2. Marco Jansen
Marco Jansen has truly been making waves for South Africa as a promising all-rounder. The 23-year-old who has gained international exposure, has picked up lessons on the go, becoming a valuable asset.
Notably, his potential to deliver the goods with both bat and ball has drawn comparisons with some of the sport’s great all-rounders and is said to be the next big thing in South African cricket. He has taken 19 wickets in 18 appearances in the IPL.
