Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) is one of the competitive teams in the Indian Premier League (IPL). The franchise was established in 2012, and it quickly gained popularity due to its strong performances and loyal fan base. SRH is owned by Sun TV Network and is known for its distinctive orange and black colors, with fans often referring to themselves as “Orange Army.”

SRH achieved significant success in the early seasons, winning their first IPL title in 2016 by defeating the Royal Challengers Bengali. Under the leadership of David Warner, the team showcased an aggressive style of play, which helped them become a formidable force in the league. However, after Warner's departure, SRH went through a period of transition.

In IPL 2024, the team reached the finals but finished as runners-up, losing to Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). This was a testament to their resilience and ability to compete at the highest level, with Pat Cummins leading the team as captain. Cummins, known for his exceptional skills as a fast bowler, has brought a new dynamic to the team since taking over the captaincy.

SRH's home ground is the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium in Hyderabad. The stadium has a seating capacity of approximately 55,000 and provides an electrifying atmosphere during matches. The passionate supporters create a lively environment, making it a challenging venue for visiting teams.
