A few days ago, Azharuddin reckoned that he had a few plans to approach the Telangana High Court, seeking an order on the HCA to remove his name from the North stand at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium. The petition accused the veteran player of abusing the association’s authority by making arbitrary decisions. It also stated that the experienced campaigner, who played 99 Tests and 334 ODIs, breached the HCA rules.

They informed that Azharuddin attended an Apex Council meeting as the former HCA president to secure a resolution in December 2019. But that happened just months after taking on the role of the association chief. The right-handed batter scored 15593 runs with 29 hundreds and 79 fifties across formats, as his last international appearance was during a 50-over contest against Pakistan in 2000.

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), the runners-up of the 2024 season, didn’t enjoy a great time in the recent season. Under Pat Cummins’ leadership, they finished in the sixth position in the points table, thanks to six victories in 14 encounters at a net run rate of -0.376. They will also hope to bring development in both the batting and bowling departments next year.
