IPL 2016 champions Sunrisers Hyderabad is one of the teams that have lifted the title in the tournament. The team won the 2016 title, defeating Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the final of the tournament by a narrow 8-run margin. In this edition, the team was led by the former legendary Australia batter David Warner.
Besides that, the team has also been led by some of the other cricketing greats who left a long-lasting legacy after the end of their IPL careers. Given that, here we’ll look at the top three captains of all time who led the Sunrisers Hyderabad in the 17-year-long history of the tournament.
David Warner
Former Aussie batting great David Warner led the Sunrisers Hyderabad for the longest period, from the 2015 edition to the 2021 edition. He also led the team to win the glorious IPL title in the 2016 edition. Since then, he led the side for five more editions.
The legendary Southpaw led the side in 67 games, winning 35 and losing 30 games, alongside playing two tied games. In terms of the most won matches, he is still the most successful captain of all time for SRH.
Kane Williamson
The veteran New Zealand batter and the modern-day batting great Kane Williamson led Sunrisers Hyderabad, alongside David Warner from 2018 to 2022. He led the side to some of the most famous wins in the history of the tournament.
Williamson captained SRH in 46 games, winning 22 games while losing 23, alongside a tied game. He had a winning percentage of 48.91, being the second most successful captain of all time for SRH. He can also be picked in this list of all-time great skippers.
Pat Cummins
The current Aussie skipper and veteran pacer Pat Cummins led the SRH in their historic and memorable campaign in last year’s 2024 IPL edition. Cummins led the side to the tournament’s summit clash, where they lost to KKR. But it happened to be one of the unforgettable editions for SRH under the captaincy Cummins.
Under Cummins, SRH played 16 games in IPL 2024, winning nine games while losing seven games, with a winning percentage of 56.25. So, in his just one edition of captaincy for SRH, Pat Cummins can be picked in the list of top three captains of all time for SRH.
