Though they have started brilliantly this season they lost 2 matches consecutively. Need to work on their bowling department if they want to make playoff for this season. Injuries Mitchell Starc is hurting their bowling department. Their batting order is strong with the likes of Virat Kohli, Chris Gayle, AB Devilliers and coming to the middle order it strong with the all-rounders like Shane Watson, David Wiese and pinch hitter Sarfraz Khan. Only its the bowling department that needs to improve. Though their batsman are getting scores on the board their bowlers could not defend them.
It is one of the costliest and strongest team in IPL history but could not win a single title. Need to look at their performance at this IPL 2016.
