Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) had a forgettable IPL-16 as they managed only four wins from their 14 league games and ended the season being at the bottom in points table.

SRH’s head coach and former West Indies captain Brian Lara reckoned that his team’s failure in dishing out consistent performances caused SRH's downfall. However, the legendary Caribbean batsman praised his two pacers—Bhuvneshwar Kumar and T Natarajan, who claimed 16 and 10 wickets respectively in the ongoing IPL.
