What Happened
Sunrisers Hyderabad adopted Melbourne's Richmond Football Club's 'Tigerland' anthem as their team song, retrofitting lyrics to 'Hyderabad' for IPL 2026. Originally written by Jack Malcomson in 1962, the song's color scheme changed from yellow-black to orange-black matching SRH's team colors. Coaching staff Simon Helmot, from Melbourne, sings the adapted anthem after victories.
