Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy

The Hyderabad team, led by Arjun Yadav, began their campaign in the maiden edition of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, a Twenty20 tournament in India, with a win against Andhra at Visakhapatnam on 25 September 2009. The half-centuries from Ambati Rayudu and Abhinav Kumar helped the Hyderabad reach a total of 176 while the couple of wickets from Mungala Arjun and Pragyan Ojha helped them to overcome the unbeaten half-century from Gnaneswara Rao to win the match over the Andhra by 10 runs. The rest of the Hyderabad's South Zone matches were washed out due to the incessant rains at Visakhapatnam which led them to finish inside top-2 in the South Zone to advance to the knockout stage with a win and four no-results. In the quarterfinal, the Mumbai had posted a strong total of 181 with the help of an unbeaten half-century from Siddharth Chitnis and a 24-ball 46 from Paul Valthaty but an unbeaten century from Akshath Reddy along with some useful contributions from Anoop Pai and Danny Dereck Prince eased the chase for the Hyderabad as they defeated the Mumbai with seven wickets to spare. The Hyderabad reached the final of the tournament with the help from Vivek Krishna's four-wicket haul and the collective contribution from their batsmen as they easily chased the Delhi's target of 158 with five wickets to spare. The Hyderabad batsmen faltered while chasing in the low-scoring final as they were troubled by the Maharashtra opening bowlers, Samad Fallah and Kishor Bhikane and were bowled out for 100 to end the tournament as the Runners-up. Earlier, the Hyderabad troubled the Maharashtra batsmen with three-wicket hauls from Hanuma Vihari and Akash Bhandari but the useful contributions from Rohit Motwani and Digambar Waghmare helped the Maharashtra reach the total of 119 which proved to be enough in the end as they won the match by 19 runs.

Vijay Hazare Trophy

The Hyderabad team, led by Arjun Yadav, began their campaign in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, a List-A cricket tournament in India, with a win against the Andhra at Chennai on 10 February 2010. The Hyderabad bowlers started brightly removing the Andhra top-order cheaply but Siva Kumar's unbeaten knock of 67 in 41 balls in the end helped the Andhra post 201 in 50 overs. After surviving early scare of losing two quick wickets, Dwaraka Ravi Teja and Anirudh Singh struck half-centuries before Doddapaneni Kalyankrishna caused the middle-order collapse for Hyderabad. However, Amol Shinde and Alfred Absolem helped the Hyderabad complete the chase in the penultimate over. In the second match, the centuries from both openers, Abhishek Hegde and VA Jagadeesh and a quick knock of 88 in 29 balls from Raiphi Gomez that includes 34 runs in the last over off Ravi Teja helped the Kerala post a mammoth total 358 in 50 overs. Ravi Teja scored a century in reply for the Hyderabad but no support on the other end apart from Ambati Rayudu's 48 forced the Hyderabad lose by 55 runs. The Hyderabad's collapse at the end after the half-centuries from Rayudu and Akshath Reddy and Anirudha Srikkanth's maiden List-A century for the Tamil Nadu ensured that the Tamil Nadu defeat the Hyderabad by eight wickets in the third match. In the fourth match, the century from Akshath and the half-centuries from Rayudu and Neeraj Bist helped the Hyderabad post 310 in 50 overs but Amit Yadav's maiden century and collective effort from the rest ensured the Goa chase the target in the penultimate over. The Hyderabad got the good start in the chase of 318 in their final zonal match with 54 from Rayudu and 40 from Ravi Teja but the Karnataka spinners derailed their chase in the middle bowling the Hyderabad out for 236 though there was Bist's unbeaten knock of 70 at the end. Earlier, Karnataka posted a 300-plus score, thanks to Robin Uthappa's 51 at the start and C. M. Gautam's unbeaten knock of 68. This loss eliminated the Hyderabad from the tournament as they finished fifth in the South Zone and failed to qualify for the knockout stage with a win and four losses.
