2016 IPL Champions
By a slim margin of 8 runs, Sunrisers Hyderabad defeated Royal Challengers Bangalore in the championship match. As captain, David Warner expertly crafted the team’s season-long voyage.
But in virtually all of the RCB games, the Virat Kohli-Ab de Villiers combo was the story of the season. In the 16 innings he played, Virat scored 4 hundred and 7 half-centuries! Who won the orange cap for the season should be clear to all.
2020 Campaign
The 2020 tournament’s league phase saw SRH finish in third place on the points chart. Again, it was Delhi Capitals that crushed Hyderabad’s playoff hopes. At Zayed Cricket Stadium in Abu Dhabi, SRH was defeated in Qualifier 2 by 17 runs.
