2016 IPL-winning franchise, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) set the stage for the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 season with the grand unveiling of their latest jersey.
The Hyderabad-based franchise took to their official social media platforms to showcase the vibrant new kit, marking the beginning of an exciting chapter for the team.
In a post that garnered immediate attention from fans and cricket enthusiasts alike, pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar was prominently featured donning the brand-new jersey.
“Fire kit. Fire player. All set for a fiery #IPL2024,” Sunrisers Hyderabad wrote on X.
The Kavya Maran-owned franchise parted ways with West Indies legendary batter Brain Lara and brought in former New Zealand spinner Daniel Vettori as the team’s head coach for the much-awaited IPL 2024.
The SRH franchise has won only one title in IPL so far and that was in 2016 under the leadership of star Australia opener David Warner. After that, they reached the finals of the 2018 edition under the leadership of star New Zealand batter Kane Williamson where they went down to Chennai Super Kings (CSK).
The Hyderabad side released players like Harry Brook, Kartik Tyagi, Adil Rashid, Akeal Hossein, and Samarth Vyas before the IPL 2024 auction and traded Mayank Dagar to Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and took Shahbaz Ahmed from them.
In the IPL 2024 auction, SRH bought Cummins for Rs. 20.50 Cr., and Travis Head for Rs. 6.8 Cr., Jaydev Unadkat for Rs. 1.6 Cr., Wanindu Hasaranga for Rs. 1.5 Cr., Akash Singh and Jhathavedh Subramanyan for Rs. 20 Lakhs.
