Background

The 2019 Indian Premier League began on 23 March 2019.[4] The venue of tournament had been the subject of speculation during the players' auction due to the clash of dates with the Indian general elections and the initial news reports suggested that the tournament could be held outside India with South Africa and United Arab Emirates as the potential replacements.[5] However, on 8 January 2019, the Board for Control of Cricket in India (BCCI) confirmed that the tournament would take place entirely in India though the schedule is yet to be decided.[6] As per the BCCI press release, the full schedule was expected to be released in February and suggested that they might consider the change of venues if needed once the election dates were announced.[6]

Player acquisition
Main article: List of 2019 Indian Premier League personnel changes

The Sunrisers Hyderabad traded Shikhar Dhawan and paid ₹1.75 crore (US$250,000) in cash to the Delhi Daredevils in exchange for three players – Vijay Shankar, Abhishek Sharma and Shahbaz Nadeem during the IPL trading window before the auction.[7][8][9][10] Dhawan was associated with the Sunrisers since their inception in 2013 and the reason for the Sunrisers to trade their most successful batsmen was widely reported as Dhawan's unhappiness over the financial reasons.[11][12] The Sunrisers retained 17 players and released eight players as they announced their retention list on 15 November ahead of the auction.[13][14] They entered into the auction with the remaining salary cap of ₹9.7 crore (US$1.4 million) to fill five available slots, of which two are for the overseas players.[15]

The BCCI announced on 3 December that the 2019 IPL players' auction was scheduled to be held on 18 December at Jaipur.[16][17] The auction for the Sunrisers were a quiet affair with most of the slots already filled before the auction. They opened their account by winning the bid for the English wicket-keeper, Jonny Bairstow for ₹2.2 crore (US$310,000) and bolstered their wicket-keeping strength by welcoming back Wriddhiman Saha. They rounded-off the auction by acquiring the services of Martin Guptill at the base price of ₹1 crore (US$140,000) and hence increasing their squad to 23 players with ₹5.3 crore (US$740,000) remaining in their fund.[18]

Main article: 2019 Indian Premier League

Offseason

The schedule for the first two weeks of this season were released on 18 February with the Sunrisers Hyderabad playing their first match against the Kolkata Knight Riders on 24 March in an away game at Kolkata while they played their first home match against the Rajasthan Royals on 29 March.[27][28] The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) released the schedule for the remaining fixtures of the league stage on 19 March following the release of the Indian general election schedule.[29]

David Warner came back into the squad following the completion of a season ban imposed on him by the BCCI due to his involvement in a ball-tampering scandal.[30] Despite the return of Warner, the Sunrisers' coach Tom Moody announced that Kane Williamson would continue to lead the side during the IPL 2019.[21]

Speaking about Sunrisers' squad available this season and Williamson's captaincy record, coach Moody said,[21][31]

We have a very stable squad and the performance of the team in 2018 exhibited the same as we topped the table. The new, young players will bring in even more exuberance and aggression to this side. We felt that Kane Williamson did a wonderful job last season. We decided not to tinker much as we are already a settled unit. The only concern we had was regarding his injury. Williamson is a world-class player and a great leader and I’m sure that he will continue to do well. Under the able leadership of Kane Williamson, this team has the potential and capability to go one step ahead and bag the trophy this time around.
