SRH’s bad performance over the past two years

In contrast, Sunrisers Hyderabad has struggled over the past two IPL seasons, finishing last in both. While their middle order includes the dependable Glenn Phillips, their top order appears to be in doubt. Their pace attack, which includes Umran Malik, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, and Marco Jansen, is their strength. Bhuvneshwar, who has captained the side multiple times, knows the group well and will lead them in their initial match against the Rajasthan Royals.
