SRH have been criticised for not including West Indian all-rounder Jason Holder in the playing eleven.
Having won just one game so far, the Hyderabad outfit is languishing at the bottom of the points table.
David Warner took 55 balls for his 57-run knock against Chennai Super Kings on Wednesday.
Warner combined with Manish Pandey to put up a century stand which comprised half-century scores of both the batters, off 83 balls. SRH did revive from their early blow, but the conservative approach left them with 128 onboard for the loss of just one wicket at the start of the 18th over.
Warner scored his first half-century this season with a knock of 57 runs off 55 balls.
Sunrisers have lost three matches on the trot at the MA Chidambaram Stadium track here, which has the reputation of aiding the spinners.
Warner also praised 'young' Abhishek Sharma, who bowled the first over for SRH returned with figures of 2/24 in his four overs.
In India TV's post-match show 'Cricket Dhamaka', former India women's team captain Anjum Chopra said that there will be conversations in the SRH camp on the way their batsmen got out in the game.
Warner and Jonny Bairstow had provided their side a platform with a quick 67-run opening-wicket partnership. But the batsmen that followed disappointed.
SRH suffered their third-straight loss in IPL 2021, becoming the only team yet to register a point in the campaign and lose all their contest while batting second.
Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma won the toss and opted to bat in their IPL match against Sunrisers Hyderabad here on Saturday. For SRH, Virat Singh, Abhishek Sharma, Mujeeb ur Rahman and Khaleel Ahmed got their first game of the season. MI, on the other hand, included Adam Milne in place of Marco Jansen.
Warner himself scored an impressive half-century, 54 off 37 balls, and set Hyderabad on the path to victory. However, the remaining batsmen floundered.
Warner scored his 49th half-century in the tournament, off 31 balls against Royal Challengers Bangalore at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.
KKR's Nitish Rana and Rahul Tripathi put up 80 and 53 respectively to guide their side to an intimidating total on the Chepauk track.
In IPL 2019, Harbhajan at Chepauk averaged 15.18 with the ball and conceded runs at an economy rate of 5.96.
Heading into the 14th season of the tournament, SRH, who were among the least active franchise in the February auction, given their side, show the potential to emulate the same.
Sunrisers Hyderabad captain David Warner and Kane Williamson landed in Chennai on Friday ahead of the 2021 edition of the Indian Premier League.
Warner had missed the first two Tests of the series after suffering a groin injury in the preceding ODI series but made himself available for the last two matches in Sydney and Brisbane.
Warner, 34, captained SunRisers to the IPL title in 2016, when his team defeated Royal Challengers Bangalore by eight runs in the final played in Bengaluru.
