Sunrisers Hyderabad, an IPL franchise, has made a significant change in their coaching staff by appointing former New Zealand captain Daniel Vettori as their new head coach. Vettori will be replacing Brian Lara, who held the position previously. This decision comes after the team’s disappointing performance in the recently concluded IPL 2023, where they finished in the tenth position on the points table.
Sunrisers Hyderabad had also struggled in the previous season, IPL 2022, finishing in the eighth position. In an effort to turn their fortunes around, the franchise has decided to bring in Vettori, who is highly regarded for his cricketing knowledge and experience.
Vettori, a former left-arm spinner, had an illustrious career as a player and later ventured into coaching. He has previously served as the head coach of the Royal Challengers Bangalore in the IPL. Under his guidance, the team reached the final in 2011 but fell short of winning the title.
With Vettori’s appointment, Sunrisers Hyderabad will be hoping for a fresh start and a revival of their fortunes in the upcoming IPL seasons. The franchise will look to build a strong team and implement effective strategies under Vettori’s leadership to compete against the other formidable teams in the tournament.
