Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) has been one of the consistent sides in the Indian Premier League (IPL) for the last few seasons. Apart from 2020 and 2021, they qualified for four consecutive seasons in 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019. Having won the title in 2016, the Orange Army will be led by Aiden Markram this time and they have acquired some exciting players this time. With the kind of squad they have, it’s fair to say that they are one of the favourites to win the title.
Sunrisers Hyderabad Strongest Playing XI for the IPL 2023
Sunrisers Hyderabad will open their IPL 2023 campaign against Rajasthan Royal (RR) on Sunday (2nd April). It’s fair to say that they have a lot better side this time as compared to the last two seasons. They have some exciting talents in the team, who on the day can single-handedly win the game for the team.
Taking a look at their playing XI for the tournament, it is likely that Mayank Agarwal will open the innings for SRH in IPL 2023. The batter captained Punjab Kings last season but was released by them after he didn’t have a good season with the bat. Notably, Agarwal is coming on the back of a staggering domestic season. He’s likely to open the innings with Abhishek Sharma, who was the leading run-getter for the team last year.
Rahul Tripathi, who recently made his debut for India, is likely to bat at No.3. The right-hander since the last few seasons has been consistently scoring runs for his side and it’s fair to say that he will be crucial to Sunrisers Hyderabad’s chances this year. Skipper Aiden Markram will bat at No.4 and provide stability to the middle order.

SRH’s new recruit and exciting talent Harry Brook is likely to bat at No.5 in the team. The batter has been going through the purple patch and is already termed as the next big thing in cricket. He is also likely to play a pivotal role for the team. South Africa’s Heinrich Klaseen is expected to keep wickets for the team and play the finisher’s role in the team along with young Washington Sundar, who is likely to be the all-rounder in the team.
Adil Rashid is expected to be the leg-spinner in the team. The seasoned English bowler will play a huge role for the team. Bhuvneshwar Kumar, T Natarajan and Umran Malik are expected to be the three pacers in the team. The pace trio has a fair amount of experience and will be vital to the team this year.
