How the squad is built
- Sunrisers Hyderabad list 6 primary batting or wicketkeeping options, which gives them real cover for top-order and finishing combinations without overstating the likely XI.
- Sunrisers Hyderabad have 9 listed specialist bowlers and 10 all-rounders, so the attack can usually be built with either extra seam cover or an extra batting cushion.
- Their clearer route is still through seam pressure and batting tempo rather than a heavy spin-based squeeze.
- There is genuine wicketkeeping flexibility in the squad, which gives the batting card more room to adjust once availability becomes clearer.
