Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) have begun the revamp of the side after a disappointing IPL 2025 season. The former New Zealand bowler James Franklin was the first one to lose his job with the Sunrisers Hyderabad ahead of the next edition of the IPL.
On Monday, July 14, the SRH welcomed the former Indian pacer Varun Aaron to their coaching staff ahead of the IPL 2026. James Franklin was shown the door as Varun Aaron joined the Orange Army as their new bowling coach for the next season.

Aaron, who was known for his raw pace and aggression during his playing days, will now guide the SRH bowlers. The franchise welcomed the former Indian pacer by calling him a “fiery addition” to their setup. With his experience in domestic and international cricket, the SRH hopes Varun will bring fresh energy and sharp strategies to the team’s bowling unit in the IPL 2026.
