The Sunrisers Hyderabad, sometimes known as SunRisers Hyderabad or simply SRH, are an Indian Premier League (IPL) professional cricket team located in Hyderabad, Telangana. The team was established in 2012 following the IPL's dissolution of the Hyderabad-based Deccan Chargers, and is owned by Kalanithi Maran of the SUN Group.
Pat Cummins is the team's current captain, while Daniel Vettori is the coach. In their inaugural IPL season, the squad participated in 2013, making it to the playoffs and ultimately placing fourth. In the 2016 season, the Sunrisers defeated the Royal Challengers Bangalore in the final by a margin of 8 runs to win their first IPL championship.
When it comes to international possibilities, Sunrisers have plenty of options. In the batting area, they have Travis Head, Heinrich Klaasen, Glenn Phillips, and Markram. On paper, they have excellent all-around alternatives in Cummins, Hasaranga, and Marco Jansen. It is possible to argue that all of them should be in the starting lineup, however fast bowler Fazalhaq Farooqi is probably there as a backup. In terms of all-around, they also have a strong depth. In addition to Hasaranga and Cummins, they also won Shahbaz in the auction, even though Washington was already a member of their team.
The Sunrisers may have to utilize one of their foreign slots on Hasaranga since they lack an Indian spinner they can rely on for consistent wickets. Shahbaz is a good all-around option and Washington is a potent powerplay bowler, but neither player has ever claimed more than eight wickets in an IPL season.
With the help of the state government, the Hyderabad Cricket Association (HCA) built the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in 2003. The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 will take place there for at least seven games. Known by many as Hyderabad Cricket Stadium, the location has hosted the Indian cricket team, Hyderabad state teams, and since 2008, the Deccan Chargers and Sunrisers Hyderabad, two franchises located in Hyderabad, have called the Indian Premier League (IPL) home.
The Hyderabad location, which is well-known for its flat wickets, has benefited slower bowlers as the game has gone on, helping the spinners who have dominated the wickets column there. The pursuing team has also reaped most of the rewards in Hyderabad, similar to other sites.
