Best bowler – Dale Steyn
Along with Dhawan the South African paceman was the only player to be retained by Hyderabad and that shows just what the franchise think about the 30-year-old.
Steyn is one of the best Test bowlers on the planet and has taken wickets fairly regularly in the IPL and will be the key figure in the Sunrisers’ attack.
