Hyderabad will host IPL matches for the first time since 2019. Sunrisers Hyderabad will play seven home matches at Hyderabad’s Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium during the Indian Premier League in 2023.
South African batter Aiden Markram was appointed as the new skipper of the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) team for the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 season. The 28-year-old Markram recently led Sunrisers Eastern Cape to the first-ever SA20 title and finished the competition as the third-leading run-maker.
By only releasing half of their overseas contingent, SRH was able to collect about INR 35 Cr which aided them for the mini-auction budget. More than one-third of that was spent on the inexperienced and young Harry Brook. Heinrich Klaasen, who has been in excellent form, has taken the position of Nicholas Pooran. Adil Rashid was acquired by SRH in order to cover the wrist spin gap created by Rashid Khan’s absence the previous year. Mayank Agarwal, who considerably strengthens that top order is also a part.
SRH are not having problems with injuries as some of the other clubs are. Markram, Klaasen, and Marco Jansen, their South African trio, will, however, skip the opening game in order to play in the crucial ODI series against the Netherlands.
