Jonny Bairstow is a hard-hitting English wicketkeeper-batsman. Although he usually plays down the order for his national team, for the Sunrisers Hyderabad, he plays as an opener alongside David Warner. An explosive batsman who looks to go after the bowler and exert pressure on the opposition, Bairstow has already become a fan favourite in his short IPL career. Last season saw him score an impressive 445 runs in just 10 matches. With no national team commitments, this time around, he will surely be looking to make an even bigger impact.

A finisher for England, an opener for Sunrisers Hyderabad and one of the quickest behind the wickets, he certainly made an impression in his debut IPL season.

In and out of the side over the next few years, it was the South Africa tour in 2015 that saw him establish himself in the national team.
