Hyderabad Cricket Body Chief Arrested in IPL Ticket Scam Involving SRH

July 10, 2025, 8:33 am

Hyderabad Cricket Association (HCA) President Jagan Mohan Rao was arrested by the Crime Investigation Department (CID) on Wednesday for a big IPL 2025 ticket scam at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium. The arrest came after a vigilance inquiry initiated by the Telangana government found serious irregularities in ticket distribution and governance norms.

Government officials accuse Rao and other members of HCA of unduly pressurizing IPL franchise Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) to get additional free tickets. They were reportedly used for personal and black-marketing purposes.

SRH Accuses HCA President of Blackmail

In a lengthy complaint, SRH accused Rao of “intimidation, coercion, and blackmail,” claiming that he padlocked a corporate box hours before the game to force more complimentary passes. The action, SRH claimed, was in breach of a tripartite agreement between SRH, HCA, and the BCCI, according to which 10% of the match tickets are given as complimentary passes to HCA.

The CID filed an FIR against Rao and other officials after the investigation’s conclusion found that there was misuse of power and coercive tactics employed against the franchise.

Threat of Venue Relocation Over Ticket Dispute

The matter reached such a stage that SRH threatened to play their home games away from Hyderabad if the harassment continued. The team had previously approached the IPL Governing Council and the BCCI for help, citing constant “blackmailing tactics” by the HCA.

To break the standoff, HCA Secretary R. Devraj discussed with SRH delegates Kiran, Saravanan, and Rohit Suresh. Based on these talks, both sides agreed to retain the current distribution of 3,900 free passes as per traditional practices.

Joint Statement Vows Professional Cooperation

In a communiqué released following the meeting, HCA and SRH both asserted, “HCA and SRH are committed to working together amicably to enhance the spectator experience at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium.”

They also ensured that the rule of 10% free ticket according to the tri-party agreement would be adhered to strictly in future matches

SRH Slammed for Crushing Shami, Cummins’ Confidence After LSG Defeat: ‘They are playing on this road’

March 28, 2025, 3:52 pm

Ex-England skipper Michael Vaughan has expressed concerns over SunRisers Hyderabad’s (SRH) strategy in IPL 2025 following their defeat against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). The Pat Cummins-led team lost by five wickets at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, bringing their ultra-aggressive batting plan under the spotlight.

SRH posted 190/9 in their 20 overs, but LSG chased it down comfortably in just 17 overs, thanks to explosive knocks from Nicholas Pooran and Mitchell Marsh. Vaughan pointed out that while SRH’s batting power is formidable, the strategy might backfire if they don’t balance it properly.

SRH’s Bowlers Struggling on Flat Pitches

Speaking on Cricbuzz, Vaughan cautioned that SRH’s batting-friendly pitches might demoralize their bowlers. “Clearly, we speak about Hyderabad’s batting, the power, and the massive scores they achieve. They’ve got to be careful that the bowlers don’t lose confidence because they are bowling on this road,” Vaughan said.

He also pointed out how some of the main SRH bowlers such as Mohammed Shami, Adam Zampa, and even captain Pat Cummins have been costly in the initial two matches. “Pat Cummins’s played a good game tonight but he gave 60 in the first match. Zampa’s got destroyed, really, today. Shami’s gone at 12 today,” he said.

Teams Don’t Win Tournaments With One Style of Cricket’

Vaughan also stressed the need for flexibility in cricket, advising SRH not to put all their eggs in the power-hitting basket. “I’m yet to see a team win a big tournament playing just one type of cricket. SunRisers may have to shift their gears. Yes, go hard when you can, but it may not always be the case,” he wrote.

SRH had also displayed their firepower at the beginning of the season when they scored a record 286/6 against Rajasthan Royals. But Vaughan feels that wiser cricket against LSG could have enabled them to put up a better total.

As SRH goes ahead in the tournament, the question remains: Can they find the right balance between explosive batting and restrained bowling to become serious contenders?

Sunrisers Smash Another 250+ Total as Ishan Kishan Shines; Jofra Archer Suffers Record Nightmare!

March 23, 2025, 7:55 pm

Much as they finished IPL 2024, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) started their IPL 2025 season explosively, hitting every ball and crashing boundaries at will. Sunrisers Hyderabad came painfully near to best their own record for the most team total in IPL history while playing Rajasthan Royals (RR) at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium.

SRH ended just one run below their 2024 maximum after a bold run when they scored 286/6 in 20 overs. Setting the stage for yet another high-scoring year, Ishan Kishan’s spectacular first century (106 runs) powered the innings.

SRH Dominate IPL Highest Team Total List

Sunrisers have further proven themselves as the most powerful batting squad in IPL history with their most recent run total. The Hyderabad franchise now has four of the top five greatest team totals in the tournament’s history.

Best 6 Highest Team Totals in the IPL:

287/3 – SRH vs RCB, Bengaluru (2024)
286/6 – SRH vs RR, Hyderabad (2025)
277/3 – SRH vs MI, Hyderabad (2024)
272/7 – KKR vs DC, Visakhapatnam (2024)
266/7 – SRH vs DC, Delhi (2024)
263/5 – RCB vs PWI, Bengaluru (2013)

Sunrisers now had the only team in the world with four T20 cricket scores greater than 250.

Ishan Kishan’s Dream Debut with SRH

Ishan Kishan amazed everyone by his 106-run first-ever Sunrisers Hyderabad knock. Leading SRH’s drive toward another strong score, his innings consisted of strong shots everywhere the field.

The innings of the southpaw made sure SRH kept their status as a batting powerhouse by means of the hostile style of play that had propelled them to the top of the previous season.

Jofra Archer Records IPL Record Most Expensive Economy Rate.

Although SRH had a record-setting evening, for Jofra Archer, a seamer from Rajasthan Royals, it turned into a nightmare. Conceding 76 runs in his four overs, the England fast bowler suffered the worst bowling statistics in IPL history.

His numbers topped Mohit Sharma’s 0/73 versus Delhi Capitals in 2024, therefore his most expensive over ever in the league.

Most High Open Bowling Average in IPL History:

0/76 – Jofra Archer (RR) vs SRH, Hyderabad (2025)
0/73 – Mohit Sharma (GT) vs DC, Delhi (2024)
0/70 – Basil Thampi (SRH) vs RCB, Bengaluru (2018)
0/69 – Yash Dayal (GT) vs KKR, Ahmedabad (2023)
1/68 – Reece Topley (RCB) vs SRH, Bengaluru (2024)
1/68 – Luke Wood (MI) vs DC, Delhi (2024)

Archer’s difficulties drew attention to SRH’s merciless hitting style, which left the opposition bowlers powerless under the onslaught.

SRH’s plans for the IPL 2025 are obvious.

Sunrisers Hyderabad have a powerful message for the other IPL clubs thanks to an electrifying beginning to their campaign. Led by power-hitters like Ishan Kishan, their aggressive batting style has already established the tone for another record-breaking season.

Whether SRH can shatter their own records and maintain their dominance in the league will be the focus of all eyes as the contest goes on.

He also surpassed Heinrich Klaasen’s tally of 33 sixes this season, along with David Warner and Travis Head’s respective records in previous years, to become the SRH player with the most sixes in a single season.

IPL 2024: KKR Secure Top Spot for First Time; RCB, CSK, SRH Still in Hunt for Two Remaining IPL Playoff Spots

May 16, 2024, 2:07 pm

IPL 2024: Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) secured the top spot on the IPL 2024 points table, a historic first for the Kolkata-based team. They’re joined in the playoffs by another contender, Rajasthan Royals (RR), whose recent losing streak puts their top-two finish at risk. KKR’s dominance in the league phase was sealed with RR’s defeat to Punjab Kings (PBKS), opening up opportunities for other teams like Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) to climb higher.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) are banking on SRH’s performance for a shot at surpassing CSK in the standings. CSK, on the other hand, can secure their qualification with a win over RCB, or even a close loss ensuring their superior Net Run Rate (NRR). CSK’s prospects for the second spot improve if RR falters in their last game and SRH’s wins are limited. SRH, just a point away from playoffs, can seal their spot with a win or even a rain-affected game, while their fate depends on RCB’s performance if they lose both remaining matches.

IPL 2024: Gaikwad’s 98, Deshpande’s Four-Fer Helped Chennai Return to Winning Ways

April 29, 2024, 6:27 am

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) reclaimed victory at Chepauk with a commanding 78-run win over Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. SRH faced difficulties establishing momentum and partnerships during their pursuit of 214. Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma began promisingly, aggressively targeting boundaries.

However, CSK swiftly struck back, with Tushar Deshpande dismissing Travis Head (13) and Anmolpreet Singh (introduced as the Impact Player) caught at cover off his first ball. Deshpande claimed another breakthrough when Abhishek Sharma was caught by Daryl Mitchell at deep point.

Despite efforts from Aiden Markram and Nitish Reddy to stabilize SRH’s innings, wickets fell at regular intervals. CSK’s tight bowling, including a searing yorker from Matheesha Pathirana that dismissed Markram for 32, kept SRH under pressure. SRH faltered, ultimately finishing on 134, conceding a substantial victory to CSK.

Earlier, CSK’s innings, led by captain Ruturaj Gaikwad’s elegant 98 and supported by Mitchell’s first IPL half-century, propelled them past 200. Ajinkya Rahane’s early dismissal was compensated by Gaikwad and Mitchell’s partnership, with Gaikwad particularly aggressive, reaching his fifty in 27 balls.

Mitchell contributed a fifty off 29 balls before being dismissed by Jaydev Unadkat for 52. Shivam Dube’s explosive batting, especially against Natarajan and Cummins, further boosted CSK’s total. Gaikwad’s dismissal for 98 in the final over, followed by contributions from Dhoni and Dube, concluded CSK’s innings at 212/3.

RCB’s Swapnil Singh Reveals Crucial Moment: The Ball Was Stopping

April 26, 2024, 4:21 pm

Following Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s (RCB) triumph over Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), bowling all-rounder Swapnil Singh emphasized a critical juncture in the match, noting that the ball’s pace had slowed, instilling confidence in RCB’s ability to defend their 207-run target. The victory, which snapped RCB’s six-match losing streak, came in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium. The slower pitch conditions favored RCB’s strategy, enabling a comprehensive 35-run win and a strong team performance across batting, bowling, and fielding.

RCB’s resurgence was evident in their collective effort, seizing control of the match with disciplined gameplay and strategic adaptability. The favorable pitch conditions amplified RCB’s strengths, allowing them to capitalize on opportunities and outplay their opponents. The result not only marked a significant turning point for RCB in the IPL 2024 season but also underscored their resilience and determination to bounce back from setbacks.

In a post-match press conference, Swapnil expressed his delight at making his debut for RCB, describing it as a fantastic experience. He emphasized the importance of winning the game and highlighted the challenging nature of the pitch, noting that the ball was slowing down. Swapnil elaborated on the team’s strategy, explaining that spinners aimed to spin the ball while fast bowlers focused on variations in pace. Despite the target being defendable, he acknowledged the team’s focus on hitting their lengths and adapting to the conditions, particularly the absence of dew.

Swapnil acknowledged the shift in momentum within the team following the victory, remarking on the positive atmosphere. Reflecting on their previous narrow loss against KKR, he emphasized the team’s satisfaction with the win while acknowledging the long journey ahead. In the match itself, RCB chose to bat first after winning the toss. Skipper Faf Du Plessis and Virat Kohli provided a strong start during the powerplay, with Rajat Patidar injecting momentum into the innings with a quickfire fifty. Despite Kohli’s dismissal after a promising start, contributions from Cameron Green and Swapnil Singh propelled RCB to a competitive total of 206/7 in their allotted 20 overs. Jaydev Unadkat and T Natrajan were the standout bowlers for SRH, while Pat Cummins and Mayank Markande also chipped in with a wicket each.

In the pursuit of the target, SRH faced frequent setbacks, losing wickets at regular intervals. Despite Abhishek Sharma’s notable contribution of 31 runs from 13 balls, featuring three fours and two sixes, previous standout performers such as Travis Head, Heinrich Klaasen, and Nitish Reddy failed to leave a significant impact. While Skipper Cummins (31 runs from 15 balls, including a four and three sixes) and Shahbaz Ahmed (40 runs from 37 balls, with a four and six) showed resilience, SRH struggled to maintain momentum and were eventually dismissed for 171 runs in their allotted 20 overs.

RCB’s bowling attack, led by performances from Green (2/12) and Karn Sharma (2/29), effectively contained SRH’s batting lineup. Additionally, Swapnil Singh contributed with two wickets conceding 40 runs, while Will Jacks and Yash Dayal also secured a wicket each. Rajat Patidar’s impactful fifty earned him the ‘Player of the Match’ accolade.

In the current standings, RCB finds itself at the bottom of the points table with two wins, seven losses, and four points. Meanwhile, SRH holds the third position with five wins, three losses, and 10 points.

IPL 2024: SRH Overcome McGurk Scare to Hand Delhi Capitals a 67-Runs Loss

April 21, 2024, 12:07 am

IPL 2024: Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) put up a strong performance against Delhi Capitals (DC) at Arun Jaitley Stadium, clinching a 67-run victory despite a challenging display from Jake Fraser McGurk. With this win, SRH climbed to second place with five wins and two losses, accumulating 10 points, while DC languished at seventh with three wins, five losses, and six points.

In pursuit of 267 runs, Prithvi Shaw’s aggressive start for DC was short-lived as he fell to Abdul Samad after scoring 16 runs off just 5 balls. Bhuvneshwar Kumar dismissed David Warner early, leaving DC at 25/2 in 2 overs. Jake Fraser McGurk’s explosive batting propelled DC to the 50-run mark in just three overs, supported by Abhishek Porel.

McGurk’s onslaught continued, reaching his fifty in just 15 balls with five fours and five sixes before being dismissed for 65 off 18 balls. Despite contributions from Abhishek and Tristan Stubbs, DC struggled to maintain momentum, finishing at 199/9 in 19.1 overs.

Earlier, SRH set a formidable total of 266/7, powered by a scintillating century partnership between openers Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma. Head’s blistering knock of 89 runs off 32 balls and Abhishek’s quickfire 46 off 12 balls laid the foundation for SRH’s commanding total.

Kuldeep Yadav was the standout bowler for DC, claiming four wickets for 55 runs, but it wasn’t enough to stop SRH’s batting onslaught. T Natrajan’s impressive bowling spell of 4/19 played a pivotal role in securing SRH’s victory.

IPL 2024: RCB Handed Their Sixth Loss After a Run Feast Against the SRH

April 15, 2024, 11:43 pm

In their quest to chase down Sunrisers Hyderabad’s formidable target of 288 runs, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) relied on the fighting spirit of Dinesh Karthik, who showcased a resilient half-century, and the explosive batting prowess of skipper Faf Du Plessis and Virat Kohli.

However, despite their valiant efforts, RCB’s run chase ultimately fell short as they were restricted to 262/7 in their allotted 20 overs. This disappointing loss leaves RCB languishing at the bottom of the table with just one win in seven matches, highlighting their struggles in the ongoing tournament. On the other hand, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) strengthened their position in the standings with four wins and two losses, securing the fourth spot.

Despite the setback, RCB’s openers, led by Du Plessis and Kohli, provided a solid start to the innings, attacking the pacers from the outset and reaching the 50-run mark in just 3.5 overs. However, Kohli’s dismissal to spin brought a temporary halt to their momentum, followed by the departure of Du Plessis and subsequent wickets that dented RCB’s progress. Yet, Karthik and Lomror’s partnership briefly reignited hopes for RCB fans, with some explosive hitting in the middle overs. Karthik, in particular, showcased his batting prowess, reaching a well-deserved fifty in just 23 balls.

Despite his heroics, RCB’s uphill task became increasingly challenging, with the required run rate climbing steadily. Karthik’s dismissal in the penultimate over effectively ended RCB’s hopes of a miraculous victory. In the end, RCB fell short of the target, with Anuj and Vijaykumar Vyshak remaining unbeaten.

Notably, SRH’s Travis Head and Heinrich Klaasen’s explosive batting display earlier in the match set the tone for their record-breaking total of 287/3, surpassing their previous highest IPL total. The dominant performance by SRH’s batsmen, coupled with RCB’s bowling struggles, highlighted the contrasting fortunes of both teams in the high-scoring encounter.

IPL 2023: Cameron Green, Arjun Tendulkar shine on the big stage as MI beat SRH for third win on the trot

April 19, 2023, 1:28 pm

Australia all-rounder Cameron Green was a sensation even before he played for Mumbai Indians (MI) in the Indian Premier League (IPL). In Hyderabad, the stage was also ready for him to shine on Tuesday, and he more than lived up to expectations, doing the majority of the damage with the bat.

Green entered the IPL with a lot of anticipation after being purchased by MI for the astronomical sum of Rs 17.50.

And on Tuesday, it wasn’t just about Green making his grand entrance; it was also about defending his price tag and teasing the fans about what to expect from the 23-year-old.

Green entered the game at number three and scored an unbeaten 64 whilst finishing with numbers of 1/29 from four overs. Green’s performance was undoubtedly one to remember, but he is being realistic about his expectations. There is no cause to be, either.

“I believe that our squad and I had a learning curve throughout the first few games. I was in a little bit of a pickle (when I went out to bat). But I’m happy the plans worked out. With regard to my death-row bowling, I’m still developing. At the post-game awards ceremony, Green exuded confidence. “Obviously, we can keep up the winning momentum.”

In addition to Green, Arjun Tendulkar also commands attention.

Not just Cameron Green, but other MI celebrities, rose to the challenge. The son of cricket great Sachin Tendulkar, Arjun Tendulkar, finally made an impression in the IPL by taking his first-ever wicket in the lucrative competition.

Arjun had been a member of the MI setup in 2021 and 2022, but the 23-year-old’s opportunity to shine has just come this year.

Sachin Tendulkar also tweeted about this winning he twitted A superb all-round performance by Mumbai Indians once again. Cameron Green impressed with both bat & ball. Ishan & Tilak’s batting is as good as it gets! The IPL is getting more interesting every day. Great going boys! And finally a Tendulkar has an IPL wicket! #SRHvMI

Tuesday, with SRH needing 20 runs off of six balls, Arjun was tasked with bowling the final over of the game.

The SRH hitter was run out the very next ball when Hrithik Shokeen precisely timed a throw to Ishan Kishan, who whipped off the bails. He started with a low full toss to Abdul Samad that resulted in a dot ball.

The new hitter was Mayank Markande, and in the third ball of the over, Markande was successful with a brace.

Even though it was clear by the end that MI would win the game, SRH still needed 16 runs off the final three balls. Arjun provided the match’s decisive blow by removing Bhuvneshwar Kumar and winning the game.

Bhuvneshwar was bowled a longer ball by Arjun, who then released it. Bhuvneshwar attempted to run down the wicket, but instead received an outside edge to Rohit Sharma at extra cover, who finished the catch.

Arjun’s cricket career has a long way to go, but it would be an incredible sensation to start off with the ball in the IPL.

“Obviously, getting my first IPL wicket was fantastic. I only needed to concentrate on the task at hand, the strategy, and carrying it through. We only intended to bowl wide in order to force the batsman to hit the longer side and bring the long boundary into action. After the game, Arjun stated, “I love bowling. I’m happy to bowl whenever the captain asks me to, as long as I follow the team’s strategy and give it my all.

SRH batters’ lack of resistance

On Tuesday against MI, SRH’s batters visibly struggled, and a large part of their batting difficulties was brought on by their batters’ failure to get off to a strong start.

MI, SRH eye third consecutive victory in today’s contest

April 18, 2023, 4:09 pm

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) is gearing up to take on Mumbai Indians (MI) in today’s IPL fixture to be played at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad.

Incidentally, both sides made a similar kind of start in the ongoing IPL session. They began their campaign in a disappointing manner, losing their first two matches. After that, both teams came back strongly, winning the next two matches.

An important match is set to be played this evening, and both would like to go all out and win today’s match to maintain their winning momentum.

Mumbai Indians picked up beautifully after two heavy defeats, defeating the Delhi Capitals as well as the Kolkata Knight Riders.

Sunrisers Hyderabad performed below par in the first two matches, losing to RR by a huge margin of 72 runs and, in the next encounter bowing down to LSG by five wickets.

However, Aiden Markram’s side, without looking back, emerged victorious in the next matches and restored parity.

Both sides have quality players who can change the complexion of the match from any position. Skipper Aiden Markram, Harry Brook, Mayank Agarwal, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, and Adil Rashid are the key players, but they have to punch above their weight to stop the Mumbai Indians.

Mumbai Indians are replete with a fantastic lineup in batting as well as bowling. It would be a difficult task to contain players like Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan, and Suryakumar Yadav.

One question must be coming to the minds of cricket fans: whether Arjun Tendulkar will get another chance in today’s match.

It seems the Hyderabad temperature will remain warm. The pitch is likely to be a paradise for the batters, but spinners may get some help in today’s encounter.

Therefore, a mouthwatering match is on the cards.

Squads:

Sunrisers Hyderabad Squad: Harry Brook, Mayank Agarwal, Rahul Tripathi, Aiden Markram(c), Abhishek Sharma, Heinrich Klaasen(w), Marco Jansen, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Mayank Markande, Umran Malik, T Natarajan, Washington Sundar, Abdul Samad, Mayank Dagar, Vivrant Sharma, Glenn Phillips, Upendra Yadav, Anmolpreet Singh, Adil Rashid, Akeal Hosein, Samarth Vyas, Kartik Tyagi, Sanvir Singh, Fazalhaq Farooqi, Nitish Reddy

Mumbai Indians Squad: Rohit Sharma(c), Ishan Kishan(w), Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Tim David, Nehal Wadhera, Cameron Green, Arjun Tendulkar, Hrithik Shokeen, Duan Jansen, Piyush Chawla, Riley Meredith, Ramandeep Singh, Vishnu Vinod, Kumar Kartikeya, Arshad Khan, Jason Behrendorff, Sandeep Warrier, Jofra Archer, Shams Mulani, Akash Madhwal, Tristan Stubbs, Dewald Brevis, Raghav Goyal
