Sunrisers Hyderabad franchise, owned by Kalanithi Maran of the SUN Group, was founded in 2012. The team came into existence after the Hyderabad-based Deccan Chargers were terminated by the IPL. SRH made their Indian Premier League (IPL) debut in 2013. They reached the playoffs in the first year, finishing a credible fourth. 

In 2016, Sunrisers Hyderabad lifted their maiden and only IPL title to date, defeating Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) by 8 runs in the final. SRH batted first in the final at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru and posted 208/7. Skipper David Warner scored 69 off 38, while Ben Cutting clubbed an unbeaten 39 in 15 balls. RCB responded with 200/7 as Chris Gayle scored 76 off 38 and Virat Kohli 54 off 35.

SRH made it to the playoffs in the next four seasons as well. They reached the final for the second time in 2018 but went down to Chennai Super Kings (CSK) as Shane Watson smashed an unbeaten 117 off 57 balls. The franchise has been disappointed in the last two seasons, finishing eighth. In 2019 and 2020, they made it to the playoffs but couldn’t win the title. The next three seasons, 2021, 2022, and 2023, saw them struggling, and they couldn’t cross the league stage. The appointment of Pat Cummins as captain in 2024 did wonders for the franchise. They played the final but lost to KKR.

The Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium, Hyderabad, which has a capacity of 55,000, is the franchise’s home ground. According to reports, Sunrisers Hyderabad’s brand value was $85 million in 2024.
