IPL 2022: SunRisers Hyderabad unveil new jersey 'orange armour' ahead of mega auction

Sunrisers Hyderabad on Wednesday unveiled their new jersey along with a new sponsor ahead of the upcoming IPL 2022 mega auction.

SunRisers Hyderabad will be looking to reverse their fortunes in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 as they chase their second title, this time with a new-look jersey. SRH on Wednesday took to social media to share a glimpse of their redesigned jersey.

"Presenting our new jersey. The #OrangeArmour for the #OrangeArmy," SRH tweeted. SunRisers Hyderabad have retained the orange and black shades of their jersey but the new model looks much sharper than the previous year’s. The kit has orange dots sprinkled on black sleeves; the neck and collar are pure black, to go along with plain orange lower gear.

SRH have named a new think tank for IPL 2022 with former West Indies captain Brian Lara being appointed the batting coach of the SRH squad and he will also be a strategic advisor for the 2016 winners, while ex-South Africa pacer Dale Steyn will be their fast bowling coach for the upcoming season.

Former India batsman Heman Badani has been named the fielding coach and scout, while ex-Australian opener Simon Katich will be SRH's assistant coach. All the new recruits on the support staff will be working under head coach Tom Moody, while Muttiah Muralitharan will continue to serve as the strategy and spin bowling coach.

SRH have let go of Australian opener David Warner, Afghanistan ace-spinner Rashid Khan and Indian fast bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who were crucial to their run to the title in 2016, in what seems to be an effort to rebuild the squad after their dismal 2021 season.

SRH managed just six points, losing 11 out of 14 matches and finishing at the bottom of the table. Warner, who led them to their only IPL title in 2016 and is among the highest run scorers of all time in the history of the tournament, was dropped unceremoniously from captaincy and eventually the team itself last season after making some low totals.
