SRH Strengthen Attack with Proteas Pacer After Payne Exit
Sunrisers Hyderabad have strengthened their bowling line-up yet again. David Payne, an overseas pacer for the team, was ruled out of the tournament due to an injury. As a replacement, the team has brought down another experienced bowler from South Africa, and it is Gerald Coetzee.
Sunrisers Hyderabad have started to find solutions to their injury issues. The team earlier had their skipper Pat Cummins miss the start of the tournament. He has now joined the team back, and will be playing for the team from the games on 25 April. But at the same time, the team faced yet another injury issue.
And this time, it was David Payne. While Payne didn't play many games for them, SRH still needed a replacement to ensure they won't face any problems further in the tournament. Some fans even demanded the team to go with the experienced Proteas bowler, Gerald Coetzee, who is not a part of the IPL this season.
Sunrisers Hyderabad were quick enough to listen to what the fans demanded, as Gerald Coetzee has now been confirmed as the replacement for David Payne. This brings more experience to their bowling line-up, as Coetzee has also played the IPL lately.
Our Take
Gerald Coetzee comes as the perfect replacement for Sunrisers Hyderabad in place of David Payne. His inclusion will also add depth and experience to the team's bowling line-up, which has been a main matter of concern for them. While Pat Cummins has already joined the team, they would still require some players with active international experience. And in this place, Gerald Coetzee comes as the perfect player. He played just four games for Gujarat Titans in the last season and was able to take just 2 wickets.
