If there’s a team that perhaps everyone likes and enjoys seeing winning games in the IPL, then it’s Hyderabad’s “Nawabi” and “enterprising” side- Sunrisers Hyderabad. For some reason, you just can’t imagine anyone that despises or doesn’t rejoice the site of a Hyderabad win. They are the perennial fair-players and earnest competitors; talents that produce good quality cricket. Even if at times, some of Hyderabad’s on-field efforts seem either hugely dependent on individual performances- in the past pegged on the likes of Warner and of late, on Williamson- this is surely an IPL team that knows how to claw back into a competition.
A team that quintessentially remains drawn to competing fairly and remains focused on competitive cricket, it’s not too hard to understand what makes the team tick. On the one hand they have talented batsmen from worldover- Dhawan, Williamson, Hooda, on the other they have the vital experience of bowlers and all rounder like Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Carlos Brathwaite respectively, who can chip and contribute from either aspects of the game.
As a result the stupendous elevation of Kane Williamson- a focused, resolute and capable individual- to the team’s captaincy role seems just and absolutely well intended. A keen contestant and someone who loves contributing to the team’s cause, it will be both a pleasure and interesting to see how the affable Kiwi goes about leading his troops to the battle.
One of the fitting highlights for the Sunrisers was when they kept their cool and trumped all mighty sides on their way to clinching the celebrated IPL crown. A success they would hold dearly close to their heart particularly because in 2016, teams like Mumbai, Kolkata and Bangalore seemed very steady and mightily competitive.
