After a disappointing IPL 2023 season, the Sunrisers Hyderabad took a radical approach and made significant changes in their team and coaching staff. Hyderabad brought New Zealand legend and Australian assistant coach, Daniel Vettori as the head coach. SRH also replaced their IPL 2023 captain, Aiden Markram with Pat Cummins, who led Australia to the WTC and ODI World Cup titles in 2023.
Cummins was also made the second-most expensive player to be bought in IPL auction history as SRH shelled out a massive sum of INR 20.50 crore. Alongside the Aussie speedster, the Sunrisers also drafted in the likes of Travis Head, and Wainindu Hasaranga on their side. With the IPL 2024 a week away, let us look at Sunrisers Hyderabad's best batters.
