Most Wickets Against SRH

Let’s take a look at the bowlers that Sunrisers Hyderabad batsmen will be keen to avoid in IPL 2020, with this list of the top 5 Highest wicket takers against SRH in IPL matches.
Top 5 Bowlers with Most Wickets Against SRH
#5. James Faulkner (12 Wickets)
James Faulkner has made a real name for himself as a canny operator with the white ball in hand – always maintaining a nagging line and length and capable of throwing in variations in pace at unexpected occasions, he’s a tough bowler to face. During his time with the Gujarat Lions and Rajasthan Royals, Faulkner has snared 12 wickets in 8 outings, with a memorable performance of 5/16 included in those figures. However, Faulkner has fallen out of favour with IPL teams in recent times and went unsold in the latest auction, which means that he won’t be making any progress up this list of top 5 players with most wickets against Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL matches anytime soon!

#4. Jaydev Unadkat (13 Wickets)
The lanky left-armer made headlines when he became the most expensive player purchase ahead of the 2018 IPL, but his performances in the tournament have gone some way towards justifying his hefty price tag. Like Faulkner before him on this list, Jaydev Unadkat is also quite accurate with his deliveries, which gets him quite a few wickets in T20 cricket. He also has a fifer against SRH, with 5/30 being his best figures out of 13 wickets in 9 outings against them. Having played for outfits like Delhi Daredevils, Rising Pune Supergiant, and Royal Challengers Bangalore before being picked up by Rajasthan Royals for the huge price, Unadkat is likely to move up this list of the 5 players with most wickets against SRH in IPL games in 2020.

#3. Lasith Malinga (13 Wickets)
As the leading wicket-taker in the tournament, one would expect to see Lasith Malinga much higher on this list of the top 5 players with most wickets against Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL games. However, when you take into account the fact that he spent one season out of the tournament acting as bowling coach for the Mumbai Indians, his current position makes more sense. The Sri Lankan with the distinctive bowling action is now back fit and firing for the Mumbai Indians, and will be looking to make up for that lost time in 2020!

It might be strange to see an all-rounder leading this list of the top 5 players with most wickets against Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL games, but Dwayne Bravo has serious bowling credentials! A multiple-time winner of the coveted Purple Cap, Bravo’s tricky variations of pace and nagging line and length has served him extremely well in the tournament, bagging him a century of wickets. 17 of those have come against SRH in just 12 outings, with a best of 3/25.
