Despite possessing one of the most balanced squads, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) faced a challenging Indian Premier league (IPL) 2023 season, finishing at the bottom of the points table with just four wins and ten losses. The team’s lackluster performance was attributed to various factors, including numerous experiments, ineffective leadership, and the presence of an inexperienced short-format coach. These issues culminated in an underwhelming season, prompting a need for strategic changes ahead of IPL 2024.

Change in Sunrisers Hyderabad coaching leadership: Daniel Vettori takes charge

To address the team’s shortcomings, SRH made a significant change in their coaching staff by bringing in former New Zealand cricketer Daniel Vettori to replace Brian Lara. This decision marks SRH’s fourth head coach since 2019, highlighting the franchise’s commitment to finding the right leadership for success in the IPL. Vettori, having previously served as the head coach at Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) from 2014 to 2018꧂, brings a wealth of coaching experience to SRH.

Retaining core players and strategic moves

Despite the challenges faced in the previous season, SRH have shown faith in their core tea♈m by retaining 19 players for a total of Rs 66 crore. This strategic move indicates a commitment to stability and a belief in the potential of their existing squad. With six slots available for the upcoming auction, including places for three overseas talents, SRH aims to make strategic additions to complement their retained players. The franchise will enter the auction with a significant purse of Rs 34 crore, the second-largest among all IPL teams, providing them with ample resources to strengthen their lineup.
