Sunrisers Hyderabad would be quite eager on bringing about a change in their fortunes in their IPL 2022 after a disastrous campaign last time around. The Orange Army had unceremoniously left out David Warner last year and despite being led by Kane Williamson and possessing some unique Indian talents in Abdul Samad and Umran Akmal, SRH could manage to finish last on the IPL 2021 points table. Sunrisers Hyderabad Squad for IPL 2022: Nicholas Pooran Goes SRH for Rs 10.75 Crore at Mega Auction

Their disastrous campaign might have led them to let go of a majority of their squad as part of the IPL 2022 retentions, retaining only Kane Williamson, Abdul Samad and Umran Akmal. They lost Rashid Khan to Gujarat Titans. On the first day, they shelled out a whopping Rs 10.5 crores to sign Nicholas Poorand and then, added a lot of muscle to their squad by signing Marco Jansen and Aiden Markram. They also went for Indian players like Rahul Tripathi, Washington Sundar and Bhuvneshwar Kumar on Day 1.
