The Indian fast bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar is the most tenured Hyderabad player. He has played more seasons for the city than any other player. Despite having an off-time in 2019 so far, Bhuvi has had an amazing career with the SunRisers Hyderabad.

Having spent time with Royal Challengers Banglore and Pune Warriors India prior to joining the SRH squad, it is in Hyderabad he found his true calling. Thanks to a lackluster batting depth and amazing bowling coached by the Pakisatni legend, Waqar Younis SRH was very well known to defend low totals in its initial seasons.

Younis' help propelled Bhuvneshwar's bowling, it not only helped SRH in IPL but also made Bhuvi one of the mainstream bowlers for Indian cricket team.

He won the Purple Cap in two consecutive seasons in 2016 and 2017 and was named vice-captain in 2018 season. He might not be the face of the franchise as the other people in this list have been but he is the key component for the success of Sunrisers and team India since 2014.
