Jayant Yadav
Jayant Yadav was a part of the Mumbai Indians squad that lifted the IPL 2020 title. SRH have two leading spinners in their squad, Rashid Khan and Shahbaz Nadeem. However, Hyderabad will look forward to adding another Indian spin bowler in their squad. Jayant Yadav picked up the crucial wicket of Shikhar Dhawan in the IPL 2020 final against Delhi Capitals. His addition can add depth, variety and experience to SRH’s spin bowling department.
