They began their season by losing their opening fixture on 21 September, and went on to become the last team to qualify for the play-offs by defeating Mumbai Indians on 3 November.[3] They beat the Royal Challengers Bangalore in the Eliminator but lost to the Delhi Capitals in the Qualifier 2 by 17 runs to finish the season in third place.[4][5]

Background

David Warner was reinstated as the captain of the Sunrisers replacing Kane Williamson on 27 February 2020.[1]

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) released the fixture details on 18 February 2020.[6] The league stage was scheduled to start on 29 March 2020, with the opening match between Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings, the two finalist of the previous season.[7] On 13 March 2020, the BCCI postponed the tournament until 15 April, in view of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.[8] On 14 April 2020, the Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that the lockdown in India would last until at least 3 May 2020,[9] with the tournament postponed further.[10] The following day, the BCCI suspended the tournament indefinitely due to the pandemic.[11]

On 17 May 2020, the Indian government relaxed nation-wide restrictions on sports events, allowing events to take place behind closed doors.[12] On 24 May, Indian sports minister Kiren Rijiju stated that the decision on whether or not to allow the tournament to be conducted in 2020 will be made by the Indian government based on "the situation of the pandemic".[13] On 2 August 2020, it was announced that the tournament would be played between 19 September and 10 November 2020 in the United Arab Emirates.[14] On 10 August 2020, the Indian government gave its permission for the tournament to take place in the UAE.[15] The schedule for the league stage of this season were released on 6 September with the Sunrisers Hyderabad playing their first match against the Royal Challengers Bangalore on 21 September in a home game at Dubai.[16]

Reaction

The Sunrisers captain David Warner said he was proud on the team making it to playoffs despite missing key players to injuries and also heaped praise on left-arm quick T. Natarajan who bowled more yorkers than anyone in this tournament. He said, “Natarajan has been waiting in the wings. So to get a chance, to have an IPL the way he has is outstanding.”[37]

Rashid Khan was featured in both Cricbuzz and Sky Sports team of the tournament.[38][39]

The ongoing pandemic impacted the brand value of IPL which saw a drop of 22% to an estimated value of US$4.4billion post 2020 season. The Sunrisers also saw the decrease in their brand value by 4% to US$57.4million in 2020, according to Brand Finance.[40]
