<p>With Warner and Dhawan doing all the scoring at the top for SRH, it's time for the middle-order batsmen to stand up to keep play-off hopes alive</p>

Sunrisers Hyderabad's Naman Ojha is bowled by KKR's Umesh Yadav at Eden Gardens on Monday. The middle-order batsman has scored 127 in nine matches at an average of 15.87
Sunrisers Hyderabad's fortunes rely heavily on openers David Warner and Shikhar Dhawan. It would be safe to say that they are the keys of the team. While Warner has 382 runs, Dhawan has scored 253 in nine matches.

The next best batsman after the openers is Naman Ojha with 127 runs. With the Indian Premier League fast approaching the business end, Hyderabad is keen to see their middle order rises to the challenges and reduces the gap between the openers and the rest.
