Team Analysis

Sunrisers Hyderabad

The SunRisers Hyderabad's opening pair of Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma has been the strongest suit for the team in the IPL 2024, giving them fierce starts in the powerplay, to help set-up big totals more often than not. The captain Pat Cummins, T Natarajan, and Bhuvneshwar Kumar have been sensational with the ball for SRH in different stages of the season, making a telling contribution to their wins.
