Sherfane Rutherford had struck gold in the IPL auctions before the 2019 season when he was signed up by Delhi Capitals for a salary of INR 2 crore. Though he did not have many telling performances in the limited opportunities that he got with the Delhi Capitals, Rutherford does come with a reputation of big hits in the middle-order. He will be coming off a brilliant season with the Patriots in the Caribbean Premier League and will be looking to delivering stellar performances for the Sunrisers Hyderabad this year. He replaces Jonny Bairstow in the squad.
