SRH'S journey in IPL 2021
Hyderabad had a torrid time in the first half in IPL 2021. They are currently languishing at the bottom of the points table, with just two points from seven matches.
They have lost six games and will have to win every game when the edition resumes to make it to the playoffs. They will also be hoping for a string of results to go their way.
Jonny Bairstow has been SRH's leading run-scorer, with 248 runs from seven games. Meanwhile, Afghanistan tweaker Rashid Khan has been their most successful bowler with 10 wickets.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is exploring the possibility of including two new franchises in the Indian Premier League ahead of next year’s edition. A TOI report said the process is a work in progress and a call will be taken after a thorough analysis of the market.
