The state unit, however, denied all all such charges by the franchise.

In a letter to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and the Indian Premier League (IPL) Governing Council, Sunrisers Hyderabad alleged that the HCA was "threatening" the franchise, primarily for more complimentary tickets (free passes).

The franchise also stated that it would consider shifting its home matches to another state if the issue persisted.

Meanwhile, HCA president A Jagan Mohan Rao denied all allegations, saying that no such demands were made to the franchise.
