Sunrisers Hyderabad have done decent purchasing during the auction now their focus remains on the tournament as they will play their first game on March 29 2022. In Previous season they have been moderate, having finished eighth place in the league table. 

They have the best bowlers at their disposal but will need to work on the batting department. It looks like they have an unbalanced squad, and they may face trouble when reaching the latter stages of the tournament.
