The former Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 auction saw Sunrisers Hyderabad come to auctions having retained the core of their team. Last season SRH had reached the finals before losing to KKR. Hyderabad had set the league on fire with their power-packed batting which had Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma.
Skipper Pat Cummins was also retained and will continue to lead the side for the next few years. Nitish Kumar Reddy who has made an amazing debut for India was also retained by the side. So were destructive opening duo Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma along with dangerous South African stumper Heinrich Klaasen.
Coming into the auctions, the focus was on Kavya Maran and her team to see if they could do some eye-catching business. Last year, Hyderabad had spent over 20 Crore to pick Pat Cummins and that was a huge move that yielded amazing results.
Ishan Kishan and Mohammed Shami head to SRH
One of the biggest purchases for Sunrisers Hyderabad was that of former Mumbai Indians star Ishan Kishan. The 26-year-old was brought for INR 11.25 Crores as MI couldn’t use the RTM cards because of the number of capped players they had retained.
Mohammed Shami was brought for INR 10 Crores by SRH to strengthen their bowling attack. Australian spinner Adam Zampa who is one of the leading bowlers in the white-ball format was picked for INR 2.4 crores. Harshal Patel who was the leading wicket-taker last year was brought for INR 8 Crores.
Indian stars like Abhinav Manohar, Atharva Taide, Simarjeet Singh, and Rahul Chahar were also added to the mix. It was a fruitful day for SRH who had picked a lot of players who could make the team even stronger.
