"It's an entire star cast in SRH," Aakash Chopra on SRH's bowling lineup for IPL 2023

"It's an entire star cast in SRH," Aakash Chopra on SRH's bowling lineup for IPL 2023: Former India batter Aakash Chopra is in awe of SRH's bowling lineup ahead of the IPL 2023 and reckons bowling will be Sunrisers Hyderabad's strength. In his show AakashVani on JioCinema, Chopra said, SRH can field an all-India bowling unit in the upcoming season of the Indian Premier League and will probably be the only team to do so.

Notably, SRH accumulated a star-studded bowling unit ahead of the IPL 2023. The management looked bullish on getting the services of quality spinners including Adil Rashid (INR 2 crore), Akeal Hosein (INR 1 crore) and Mayank Markande (INR 50 Lakhs) during the IPL 2023 Auction.

Meanwhile, the franchise had already retained some of the best pacers available. The likes of Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Umran Malik, T Natarajan, Karthik Tyagi, and Fazalhaq Farooqi were retained by the management.

The cricketer-turned-commentator reckons SRH has plenty of options to choose from on pacers and spinners in the IPL 2023.

"This team's bowling - it is an entire star cast. Fast bowlers - plenty of them - Fazalhaq Farooqi, Marco Jansen, Kartik Tyagi, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Umran Malik, T Natarajan. In spinners, they have Mayank Markande, Akeal Hosein, Washington Sundar and Adil Rashid,? said Chopra on the ?AakashVani? show on JioCinema.

With the luxury of having so many bowlers under the hood, SRH will be able to field an all-India bowling unit and will probably be the only team to do so, said Chopra.

"The fast-bowling unit and the overall bowling unit is looking very, very good. Their bowling is their strength because they are probably the only team in the tournament that can play an all-India bowling attack,? he added.

4 Indian Pacer's in SRH's Playing11

He then predicted that SRH can opt to go with the pace battery of T Natarajan, Umran Malik, Kartik Tyagi and Bhuvneshwar Kumar together in a playing11 during IPL 2023.

"If they want, they can go with Adil Rashid. Otherwise, if you want to go with four fast bowlers and a spinner, the entire fast bowling can be made up of Indian bowlers, which will have T Natarajan, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Umran Malik and Kartik Tyagi. All four are capable of playing in the XI,? said Chopra.

In another suggestion, Chopra said SRH can even field a playing11 consisting of three Indian pacers and an overseas fast bowler in the form of Marco Jansen along with the spinning services from Washington Sundar, who is a designated all-rounder in the team.

"You can play three out of the four, and then you can play a spinner in the form of Washington Sundar, who also bats, and then Marco Jansen and a little bowling from Aiden Markram. Abhishek Sharma also bowls a little left-arm spin,? Chopra added.
