After finishing eighth in the IPL 2022, Sunrisers Hyderabad have released Kane Williamson and Nicholas Pooran – two of their marquee batters – before heading to Kochi for the mini-auction. With the highest purse of INR 42.25 Crore, the Orange Army will search for a new captain before anything else.

Tactical substitutions might play a key role in the upcoming season as BCCI have announced a substitute rule ahead of the next year’s edition. The concept was first tested in the recent Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy where the teams were allowed to bring in one replacement player during the match.

Virender Sehwag has reckoned that Sunrisers Hyderabad’s Rahul Tripathi was the best No. 3 batsman in the recently-concluded IPL 2022. Tripathi, who was bought at INR 8.5 crore at the mega auction, played a crucial role when SRH won five matches on the bounce, but due to lack of support, they failed.

Former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra has said that Umran Mallik was very impressive with his pace in IPL and made the batters run away by scaring and threatening him. Chopra also added that Umran improved his accuracy as the competition progressed and his bowling became well-directed.
