SRH’s IPL 2026 run: from early setbacks to a strong middle
On the field, Sunrisers Hyderabad are currently fourth in the standings. After securing four victories from seven matches, they have collected eight points and are posting a net run rate of +0.820, reflecting a campaign that has been steadily gathering momentum.
SRH started their season with a defeat against Royal Challengers Bengaluru. However, they soon responded in style by registering a 65-run win over Kolkata Knight Riders, a result that helped re-establish their rhythm.
Two subsequent losses—against Lucknow Super Giants and Punjab Kings—briefly disrupted their momentum. Yet the team bounced back with convincing performances against Rajasthan Royals, Chennai Super Kings, and Delhi Capitals, taking control of the contest sequence again.
Abhishek Sharma’s Orange Cap form
A key factor behind SRH’s success has been Abhishek Sharma’s batting output. The left-handed batter is not only the leading run-scorer in IPL 2026 but also the holder of the Orange Cap. Through seven matches, he has amassed 323 runs at an average of 53.83 and a strike rate of 215.33, underlining his ability to score quickly and consistently.
