Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) Retained Players List, Auction, Squad, Schedule, Venue IPL 2023

SRH is based in Hyderabad city in Telangana and it was inducted into the IPL in 2013 edition. Hyderabad was earlier represented by Deccan Chargers but the team was dissolved in 2012. The Sun TV Network clinched the bid to get the Hyderabad team and they introduced a new team called Sunrisers Hyderabad.

SRH has won an IPL trophy in 2016 edition under the captaincy of David Warner. They defeated RCB in the final match. They have 2 appearances in the IPL finals out of which they won in 2016 and ended as runners-up in the 2018 season. 

Sunrisers Hyderabad Team Information

SRH has been having difficulties with their captaincy choices. They appointed Kane Williamson as the captain in the middle of the 2021 season, replacing Warner as the captain.

Kane Williamson led the team in the 2022 season but the team performed poorly and finished at the 8th spot on the table with 6 wins only. SRH took a big call to release Williamson after the last season. After releasing Williamson, they have appointed Aiden Markram as the SRH captain after he led the Sunrisers Eastern Cape team to victory in the SA20.

South African batsman Aiden Markram is appointed as the new captain of SRH. Markam has captained the Sunrisers Eastern Cape team in the SA20 league and lifted the trophy in the inaugural season this year.

In the IPL 2023 auction, SRH roped in the young England batter Harry Brook who has been very impressive in red-ball cricket recently. SRH spent a whopping INR 13.25 crore to rope in Brook and the will be playing his first ever IPL season. 

SRH also shelled out some big amounts to get the spinner duo Adil Rashid and Akeal Hosein. This is going to be a dangerous combination of spin attacks.

To strengthen the batting line-up, SRH also purchased Mayank Agarwal and Heinrich Klaasen.

Sunrisers Hyderabad Retained Players IPL 2023

Sunrisers Hyderabad has released the skipper Kane Williamson, who was also one of their most expensive players. Among other big releases, there is Nicholas Pooran, Romario Shepherd, Sean Abbott.

The team is looking for an overall change in the squad and the leadership duties.

They have a strong batting and bowling unit but need a leader who can utilise the players to their potential. They have retained Umran Malik who emerged as a sensational pacer last season, clocking 150+ kph consistently.

SRH needs to learn how to carry on the momentum. Once they lose it, there is no coming back from there for this team. They have a strong squad and with the new captaincy we might see a different version of SRH.

We are not expecting SRH to qualify for the playoffs.

Can SRH Win IPL 2023?

It looks difficult for the SRH clan to lift their 2nd IPL trophy this year. With a new captain, they need a good team balance first.

Betway is offering 12.00 and Bet365 is giving 11.00 for the SRH win.
