Sunrisers Hyderabad on Wednesday, February 9, unveiled its new jersey for the upcoming edition of the Indian Premier League. The announcement comes just three days ahead of the IPL 2022 auction to be held in Bengaluru on February 12 and 13.
The SRH took to social media on Wednesday to share a glimpse of their redesigned jersey. They have retained their trademark orange and back colour, giving the outfit a sharper look. The black stripes on the jersey have been removed from the new kit. The black colour will only be limited to the sleeves while the rest of the kit will be fully orange. “Presenting our new jersey. The #OrangeArmour for the #OrangeArmy,” SRH tweeted.
After seeing the colour of the jersey, the fans couldn’t help themselves but notice the resemblance with the kit of the Big Bash League (BBL) side Perth Scorchers from the last year. Some users also found similarities between the kit of Big Bash League side Perth Scorchers and the new jersey of SRH. Here’s how netizens reacted to SRH’s new jersey design on social media.
Sunrisers Hyderabad is one of the consistent teams in the Indian Premier League. However, things didn’t go too well for them last year. They lacked application with both bat and ball. SRH skipper David Warner was sacked mid-season due to his team’s poor performance. Coming into IPL 2022, SRH made some big changes to the squad. SRH have retained Kane Williamson and two more young Indians, namely Abdul Samad and Umran Malik. Ahead of the mega-auctions, developing a potent bowling attack will be one of their biggest challenges. Dale Steyn has been appointed as the new fast bowling coach.
