2026 appeared to quickly head in the same direction as 2025 did.
SRH were blown away in their first game and then went on to lose two more in the next three.
Skipper Pat Cummins wasn't available either with doubts remaining over his participation.
But eventually, Cummins did return and the performances improved.
In fact, SRH remained in contention for a top two spot at one point before settling for a place in the Eliminator - a clash that ended their campaign.
