Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) is a professional franchise cricket team based in Hyderabad, Telangana, India, competing in the Indian Premier League (IPL). The franchise is owned by Kalanithi Maran of the SUN Group and was founded in 2012 after the termination of the Hyderabad-based Deccan Chargers by the IPL. The team is currently coached by Daniel Vettori and captained by Pat Cummins. Their primary home ground is the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium, Hyderabad, with a capacity of 38,000.
Sunrisers Hyderabad made their first IPL appearance in 2013, reaching the playoffs and finishing in fourth place. They won their maiden IPL title in the 2016 season, defeating the Royal Challengers Bangalore by 8 runs in the final. Since 2016, the team has qualified for the playoff stage of the tournament in every season. In 2018, they reached the finals but lost to Chennai Super Kings.
The team was initially known for its strong bowling lineup, often praised for its ability to defend low totals. However, it has since evolved into a strong batting side, according to many cricket pundits. Sunrisers Hyderabad also holds the record for the highest-ever IPL total, scoring 287 runs in a match.
David Warner is the leading run-scorer for the side, having won the Orange Cap three times, in 2015, 2017, and 2019. Bhuvneshwar Kumar is the leading wicket-taker, winning the Purple Cap twice, in 2016 and 2017.
