David Warner and Steven Smith have been banned for one year in the ball tampering scandal. Not only that, they have also been dropped from the upcoming Indian Premier League IPL. It is not news that Tamir will play apiele for Sunrisers Hyderabad instead of Warner.
According to the Indian press ABP report, Hyderabad opener Taman Iqbal could be replaced instead of left-arm opener Tamim Iqbal in place of Tiger opener Tamim Iqbal. However, New Zealand's hard-hitting opener Martin Guptill is more with Tamim in this race. Guptill Kings XI played for Punjab in the last edition.
Goptil's statistics of 189 runs in 10 matches are not good at all. On the other hand, Tamim was absent from the IPL auction this year. However, the Pakistan Super League-PSL and the latest form for the national team are leading him.
Tamim made 154 runs at an average of 30.80 in the Nidhaas Trophy. Besides, the special skill of Tamim is also known as spin, Hyderabad is one of the reasons for the consideration. So, to fill the place of Warner, he might be paying the base price to 50 lakh rupees in Hyderabad.
