SRH announce blockbuster coaching staff for IPL 2022 featuring Steyn and Brian Lara
The Sunrisers Hyderabad disappointed their fans by their performance in the 2021 IPL season. For the first time in the league’s history, the Orange Army finished at the last position in the points table of an IPL season.
Another big development that hurt the fans of the Orange Army was the decision to release the big names like David Warner and Rashid Khan from the squad. However, it seems SRH have learned from their mistakes and are now looking to make a fresh start to their IPL 2022 season.
Ahead of the IPL 2022 Mega Auction, the Hyderabad-based franchise have named a star-studded coaching staff. Trevor Bayliss stepped down as the head coach after the disappointing season in 2021. VVS Laxman left as the mentor because of his new role in the NCA of India.
So, SRH had to fill many vacant positions, and they have done an excellent job by signing West Indies legend Brian Lara as their new batting coach and South Africa legend Dale Steyn as their new fast bowling coach.
Former Chennai Super Kings player Hemang Badani has joined the squad as a fielding coach and a talent scout. Meanwhile, former Australian all-rounder Simon Katich is the new assistant coach of Sunrisers Hyderabad.
