Bayliss is revered as one of the most successful coaches in cricket. Under his tutelage, England won the Ashes and the 2019 World Cup. He had coached Kolkata Knight Riders in 2012 and 2014 before leaving for England. The Australian coach joined SRH after the 2019 World Cup but hasn’t had great success.
During his tenure, SRH qualified for the IPL 2020 playoffs but had a dismal run in the IPL 2021, finishing at the bottom of the table. His tenure was also marred with controversies. The most infamous one was to drop the most successful foreign player David Warner from Playing XI and even matchday squad.
