Ranji Trophy: Hyderabad begins campaign with high hopes

Hyderabad enters the 2026-27 Ranji Trophy season with renewed optimism following significant internal restructuring. The team has benefited from a rigorous preparation period, including a Super League and specialized fitness camps, while adding Wasim Jaffer as a mentor and securing Mohammed Siraj for the opening match.

Head coach Anirudh Singh confirmed that the home pitches have been modified to encourage decisive results. Meanwhile, their first opponents, Tripura, have arrived in the city early to adjust to local conditions after weather issues hampered their own training sessions.

Hanuma Vihari remains a key figure for Hyderabad as they aim to improve their standing in the domestic circuit.
