Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) have tried everything, either at the IPL auction table, or on the pitch, but nothing substantial has come out of anywhere. SRH will be trying their best at the IPL 2024 auction to build a super squad that wins them the second title. Like Rajasthan Royals (RR) too have won the title only once. And the second title just would not come for them.

SRH won their first and only IPL title in 2016 under the captaincy of David Warner. Since then, they have had several captains, but nothing great has come out of it. Warner was replaces by Kane Williamson who was replaced by Mayank Agarwal who was replaced by Aiden Markram. The South African batter currently leads the side but you never know what SRH does next.
If they find an able leader in their latest purchase, he too can become the captain. SRH owner Kaviya Maran gets trolled every time she buys a team as fans feel she lacks the farsightedness when it comes to building a champion IPL side. Even she has a lot to prove as far as cricketing and business acumen goes. The young business leader is running a unsuccessful IPL team for many years and she would want that tag to go by building a squad that finally lands Sunrisers their second title.
They have a solid group of players in form of Glenn Phillips, Makram, Abdul Samad, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Umran Malik. Not to forget, Washington Sundar and Heinrich Klaasen. By picking some more brilliant players of T20, SRH want to ensured they have all bases covered when it comes to playing the next edition of Indian Premier League, which is IPL 2024.
