Sunrisers Hyderabad: A Racy Sequel to Their 2024 Blockbuster

What's new with Sunrisers Hyderabad in the new cycle?

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) broke their free fall of mediocrity with conviction in 2024, thanks to the arrival of Pat Cummins, Travis Head, and a new head coach, Daniel Vettori. They chose to colour outside the lines of batting conventions, maximizing batting PowerPlays and swinging for the fences. With the new retention rules, SRH have four of their high-performing assets carrying over from the previous edition, including Ishan Kishan, who could elevate their top-five.
