The SRH became a part of the Indian Premier League back in 2012 after the removal of the Deccan Chargers team. Since 2012, SRH won their first IPL title back in 2016 under the leadership of David Warner. The Australian opening batsman led his team from the front and smashed 69 runs off 38 balls with a strike rate of 181.57.

SunRisers Hyderabad managed to reach the final of the 2018 edition of the IPL but lost to MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings. This was Chennai's first title victory after serving their two-year ban. The Chennai Super Kings is one of the most successful teams in the Indian Premier League. 

This year, the Indian Premier League was supposed to begin from March 29, but got postponed as a safety measure against the coronavirus pandemic. BCCI had announced that the cash-rich league has been rescheduled and is supposed to begin from April 15.
