Looking back: IPL-7 Results
The Sunrisers Hyderabad endured an underwhelming season in 2014, finishing sixth with just six wins in 14 games.
Looking forward: IPL-8
The Sunrisers Hyderabad backed up some bold exclusions with excellent buys in the player auction 2015. The Hyderabad-based franchise acquired the services of Kevin Pietersen, Kane Williamson, Eoin Morgan and Ravi Bopara after letting go of previous season performers like Aaron Finch and Darren Sammy. Hyderabad also snapped up exciting Kiwi pacer Trent Boult.
Prediction:
Sunrisers Hyderabad have the ammo to finish in the top-four and challenge the best in the play-offs.
