The captain of the team is 26 years old Shreyas Iyer , who is exceptionally talented and vital to the team.
The Sunrisers Hyderabad is owned by Kalanithi Maran (Sun TV Network) and was founded in 2012 after Deccan Chargers was terminated from the IPL. The team is currently led by David Warner, with their home ground being Rajiv Gandhi International cricket stadium. They have won one Indian Premier League trophy till date, in 2016. Sunrisers Hyderabad recently signed JK Lakshmi Cement as their title sponsor. The team's fans identify themselves as 'Orange Army' as the entire stadium gets filled with people wearing Orange when SRH plays a home game.
