IPL: Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) all-time greatest XI in league history

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) came into existence after Deccan Chargers’ termination in 2012. Under the Sri Lanka legend Kumar Sangakkara, they concluded their maiden season in the playoffs. In 2016, they won their first and only Indian Premier League (IPL) trophy under David Warner.

The Hyderabad-based outlet became the sixth team to win the distinguished trophy. In 2023, they completed 10 years in the cash-rich league. Noting their performance from 2021 to 2023,  it can be said that the Orange Army has gone from riches to rags. In the IPL 2024 auction, Sunrisers strived to renovate their team with some quality buys and they will look to bring their old form back in the upcoming competition. Following their 10-year journey in the league, let’s create SRH’s all-time greatest XI.

Here's the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) all-time greatest XI in league history:

1. David Warner (Captain)

David Warner joined SRH in 2014 and ended up as the fourth-leading run-getter in the seventh season, scoring 528 runs in 14 matches at a strike rate of 140.80. Following this performance, the SRH team management appointed him the captain of the side in 2015. In 2016, he led the team from the front and guided it to its maiden title win.

The Australia southpaw notched up 848 runs in 17 games at a stellar strike rate of 151.42 and ended up as the second-leading run-scorer. In 2021, he struggled to be among the runs, and noting his dry run with form, Sunrisers parted ways with him after the season. In his seven-year association with SRH, he notched up 4014 runs in 95 games at a strike rate of 142.59.
