Sunrisers Hyderabad team is a silent killer. The team does its job quietly but efficiently. The team doesn’t boast of big names but it has players who do their work with diligence and effectiveness.
Sunrisers Hyderabad is especially known for its bowling unit. It has the likes of Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Afghanistan’s superstar Rashid Khan, Bangladesh’s all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan, Australia’s Billy Stanlake. They even had Mustafizur Rahman who formed a brilliant combination along with Kumar in the death overs.
Hyderabad’s batting is also sorted with captain Kane Williamson leading from the front. Australia’s David Warner will make a comeback this season after a ban in the last season. There is Manish Pandey, Martin Guptill, Yusuf Pathan, Jonny Bairstow and Vijay Shankar to do the job with the bat. It is one of the most balanced sides in the tournament.

In 2018, David Warner was banned to play, hence, New Zealand captain Kane Williamson was made the captain. He led with the bat, scoring a massive 735 runs in the season and winning the orange cap. The team made it to the finals but ultimately lost to Mahendra Singh Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings who were making a comeback after a 2-year ban.
This year the team has dropped Shikhar Dhawan and bought England’s Jonny Bairstow and New Zealand’s Martin Guptill to add to their batting power.
