Team Hyderabad Introduction
The winner of the Indian T20 Premier League in the year 2016, Hyderabad is one side that can never be under-estimated. Once led by David Warner, and currently led by Pat Cummins, Hyderabad hasn’t always looked the most potent side on paper but always punched above its weight in the league.

The franchise lifted the trophy in 2016 under the captaincy of Warner and finished as runners-up in 2018. The Southern giants do not have many big names but makes sure each player is backed to the hilt. It finished in third place in 2020 and has since been performing underwhelmingly. They finished last in 2021, eighth in 2022 and right at the bottom in 2023.
