Sunrisers will be the new cricket team from Hyderabad in the high-profile Indian Premier League.

Kalanithi Maran and Chennai-based Sun TV Network own the team, which replaced Deccan Chargers, the terminated franchise.

The Sun Group Thursday unveiled the name and the logo — an eagle soaring high, looking into the core of a rising Sun.

Present at the glittering ceremony were former India captain Krishnamachari Srikkanth, who will be the mentor and strategic analyst, coach Tom Moody and Chief Executive Officer Shanmugam.

The team management will have some local flavour with former cricketer V.V.S. Laxman as the mentor and brand ambassador.
