The Sunrisers Hyderabad announced Kumar Sangakkara as the captain for their first IPL campaign but had to replace him with Cameron White during the season owing to the former’s poor form.[24][25]Shikhar Dhawan was made the captain during the 2013 Champions League Twenty20 and also led the team initially during the 2014 IPL season.[26][27] Dhawan was eventually replaced by Darren Sammy during the season to relieve Dhawan from the captaincy pressure and improve his batting performances.[28] They changed their captain for the fifth time in three seasons appointing David Warner for the 2015 season who proved to be their most successful captain by winning their first IPL title in the 2016 season.[6][29] Warner resigned as the captain in the aftermath of a ball-tampering scandal before the 2018 season and was replaced by Kane Williamson.[30]Bhuvneshwar Kumar stood-in as the captain at the start of the 2019 season when Williamson was unavailable owing to an injury.[31] Warner was reinstated as the captain of the Sunrisers replacing Williamson ahead of the 2020 season but Warner’s lack of form led Williamson to be reinstated as captain during the 2021 season.[32]Manish Pandey captained last match of the 2021 season with Warner, Williamson and Kumar rested for that match.[33] Williamson continued as the captain for the 2022 season except for the last match which he missed due to the personal issues in which Kumar stood-in as the captain.[34][35]
