Indian T20 League is all set to begin on 31 March 2023. The Hyderabad franchise will look to do well in the upcoming edition after finishing in the eighth position with 12 points from 14 games. However, they appointed Aiden Markram as the new skipper for them. Now, on 16 March 2023, the franchise released a video on their official social media platform to release their new jersey for the new season.
But, fans were not happy with the new jersey as they came up with some funny tweets, and memes on the social media platform. They even claimed that the team is yet to find a sponsor as there is no sponsor on the jersey. Hyderabad will begin their campaign against the Rajasthan franchise on 2 April.
Here is the shared image of the new jersey:

The Hyderabad franchise won the title last time in 2016
Mayank Agarwal, Washington Sundar, and Umran Malik were seen unveiling the new jersey for the franchise. After becoming the skipper of the Hyderabad franchise, Aiden Markram said: “I just want to create an environment where players can be themselves, express themselves.” He also opened up about selecting the deputy for him in the franchise. While talking to Hindustan Times, Markram said: “That's a tough one. I played under Mayank at Kings. He and I got on really well. And if you look at the amount of experience someone like Bhuvi has, it is almost irreplaceable. So, to pick one would be difficult right now but I think both of them would nail it certainly.”
He recently led the Hyderabad franchise to the title in the inaugural season of the SA20 League. Markram also claimed that he will like to trade MS Dhoni in the SA20 League. He said: “That's a very difficult one. To be honest with you, someone like MS (Dhoni) would be great to have in the camp. Just for guys to be able to learn - he has got all the knowledge, and seen everything this game has produced. For our local players in South Africa to be able to spend time with someone like Dhoni would be great. So, yeah that's the one (player) that comes to my mind firstly, but there will be a lot of players I think that would be discussed for sure.”
Here is how fans have reacted to the new jersey of the Hyderabad franchise for the upcoming season:
