5 similarities between Sunrisers Hyderabad (2016) and Deccan Chargers (2009)

#5 Both captains came second in the race for the Orange Cap

Both Warner and Gilchrist ended as the second highest run getters

Captained by the Australian opener, David Warner, the Sunrisers won their maiden title this time. Seven years ago, there was another swashbuckling Australian opener, who led the Deccan Chargers to victory in 2009. Adam Gilchrist and David Warner have similarities between themselves too.

Both Warner and Gilchrist ended the IPL as the second highest run-getter during their respective IPL triumphs, scoring at roughly the exact strike rate. If we don’t stop the comparisons here, both Warner and Gilchrist were born in New South Wales, made their ODI debut against South Africa, and scored their maiden Test century in their second match!
