Sunrisers Hyderabad: A Resilient Orange Army
Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) are one of the most respected franchises in the Indian Premier League, known for fiery batting, disciplined bowling, and passionate support since their debut in 2013.
The team began strongly under leaders like Adam Gilchrist and later built their identity with Australian great David Warner and New Zealand’s Kane Williamson, forming a core that consistently challenged opponents in the middle seasons.
SRH’s biggest achievement came in 2016, winning their first and only IPL title under Warner’s captaincy. That season showcased the franchise’s balanced attack and strategic depth.
The team also reached the championship game in 2018 and 2024, finishing as runners‑up in both editions — notable peaks in their competitive timeline.
In recent years, under the aggressive leadership of Pat Cummins, SRH returned to form and the finals, highlighting a renewed bold approach and powerful batting performances.
SRH is also known for setting remarkable batting records, including some of the highest team totals in IPL history — a testament to their explosive lineup.
As the franchise heads toward IPL 2026, Sunrisers Hyderabad aims to convert consistency into more silverware and further cement their legacy in T20 cricket.
