List of Sunrisers Hyderabad cricketers

 * Nominator(s): Sagavaj (talk) 15:12, 12 June 2018 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list because this contains entire statistics of players who played for Sunrisers Hyderabad and I have created this list from scratch and would like it to become a featured list. Sagavaj (talk) 15:12, 12 June 2018 (UTC)

 * Remove the Telugu title of the team, per WP:INDICSCRIPT.
 * I'd suggest you to place the references at the end of the sentences.
 * Alt text missing of Sangakkara's image.
 * Last three references should be properly formatted.
 * Replace Twitter with a better source.
 * Be consistent with the way you write the date and accessdates.
 * Howdy. I have addressed all the issues presented above. Cheers. Sagavaj (talk) 13:19, 13 June 2018 (UTC)


 * Support this nomination. Yashthepunisher (talk) 14:15, 13 June 2018 (UTC)


 * Comment – I was asked for a review on my talk page, but I'm finding a bunch of grammar and prose issues in the lead (too many to list individually). My opinion is that the article needs a copy-edit before I'd be comfortable saying that it meets FL standards. Giants2008  ( Talk ) 21:08, 24 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Since I was asked on my talk page for a few examples, I'll provide several here. Please don't think that these are all of the problems, but rather as examples indicating the need for copy-editing:
 * "The Sunrisers Hyderabad is a franchise cricket team...". First, the first word doesn't work grammatically and should be removed. Second, bold links are discouraged by the Manual of Style, so I suggest taking out the bolding.
 * "The team made their maiden appearance in the IPL playoffs in its first season in 2013 and had continuously reached since 2016 season." The last bit isn't well-written. Is it supposed to be "and has continuously reached the playoffs since the 2016 season."?
 * "and experienced the biggest gain in percentage in past year among the IPL franchises." This needs another "the" before "past year".
 * "Shikhar Dhawan has the most number of appearances for the SRH...". "number of" is redundant phrasing; "most appearances" is shorter and tighter writing, so I say go with that version. Giants2008  ( Talk ) 21:19, 25 July 2018 (UTC)


 * Comments
 * "The SunRisers Hyderabad (often abbreviated as SRH) are a franchise [...] which plays" - team referred to as both singular and plural in the same sentence, which is it?
 * Rephrased
 * "The team made their [...]maiden IPL playoffs appearance in their first season in 2013 and has continuously" - same again
 * Corrected "has" to "have"
 * "last-time during the 2018 season" => "most recently during the 2018 season"
 * Changed to "most recently"
 * "according to the Duff & Phelps" => "according to Duff & Phelps"
 * Removed "the"
 * "The team has played its home matches in the 55,000-capacity Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium in Hyderabad, since its inception." - no reason for the comma before "since"
 * Removed ","
 * "to achieve an individual run total in excess of 2000 runs" - in the previous sentence there is a comma in a four-digit number but not here - be consistent
 * Changed to 2,000
 * "Warner achieved the record highest number of runs in a single match" - no need to say both "record" and "highest" as the record is obviously the highest figure by definition
 * Removed "record"
 * "players who bowled over 20 overs for the team" => "players who bowled more than 20 overs for the team"
 * Rephrased
 * "Shikhar Dhawan has played the most matches. He is also second leading run-getter for SRH." => "Shikhar Dhawan has played the most matches. He is also the leading run-getter for SRH."
 * Corrected. Changed from second leading run-getter to leading run-getter
 * "Bhuvneshwar Kumar is leading wicket-taker for SRH." => "Bhuvneshwar Kumar is the leading wicket-taker for SRH."
 * Added "the"
 * "Amit Mishra took first hat-trick for SRH." => "Amit Mishra took the first hat-trick for SRH."
 * Removed photo for poor quality purposes
 * The photo captions simply refer to the team as "SRH", whereas the text uses "the SRH" - be consistent
 * Added "the"
 * The table "is initially listed alphabetically by their last name" - this clearly isn't true, because Anand Rajan and Ankit Sharma listed under A. Listing them under A may be correct (I am not very familiar with Indian naming customs) but you shouldn't claim that the list is sorted by players' last name if some are sorted based on their first name............
 * Rearranged the table
 * "But, they had to replace Sangakkara with Cameron White as captain in the middle of ongoing IPL season owing to the former's poor form" - can't start a sentence with "but" - I suggest you join this onto the previous sentence.
 * Rephrased first sentence and joined second with the first
 * Also "in the middle of ongoing IPL season owing to the former's poor form" isn't grammatically correct and should probably just be "during the season owing to the former's poor form"
 * Rephrased
 * "They changed their captain for the fifth time in three seasons appointing David Warner for 2015 season" => "....for the 2015 season"
 * Added "the"
 * Same thing later in the sentence when referring to 2016
 * Added "the"
 * And in the following sentence when referring to 2018 :-)
 * Added "the"
 * "These statistics are correct as of 2018 Indian Premier League." => "These statistics are correct as of the 2018 Indian Premier League."
 * Rephrased
 * "The BBI was not provided for players who didn't take wickets for SRH." => "....who did not take wickets". Also, is it SRH or "the" SRH?
 * Added "the"
 * Quite a lot here, hope it helps -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 16:59, 11 August 2018 (UTC)
