Hyderabad will kickstart their Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2021-22 campaign in the Elite Group E match against Saurashtra in Sultanpur on November 4.

Hyderabad had a disastrous season last time out, as they won just one out of five matches in their Elite Group B. Meanwhile, Saurashtra won 3 out of 5 matches in their Elite Group D. Both could not make it to the next round and will look to set the record straight this season.

Hyderabad will be led by Hanuma Vihari and a lot rests on him to inspire his young teammates to punch above their waist this season. Hyderabad will be boosted by the inclusion of Mohammed Siraj, who has had a brilliant IPL 2021 season with the RCB.

Saurashtra will be led by Jaydev Unadkat, a veteran of IPL and T20 cricket. He will be supported by Chetan Sakariya, who also had a good season with the ball for the Rajasthan Royals in the IPL 2021. There are a few other names in the Saurashtra squad who will be eager to impress in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy this season to knock at the gates of IPL franchises ahead of the 2022 auction.
