There is a high Australian flavour at SRH. Pat Cummins is the skipper while Dan Vettori, a member of the Australian backroom staff, is the Head Coach of SRH. Hence, we could see more Australian arrivals at SRH. SRH relies on a strong overseas core and hence, some top-names could be in the fray to wear orange. Here, we take a look at the list of three Australian cricketers Pat Cummins and SRH could target in IPL 2025 Mega Auctions.
1) Mitchell Marsh
No.3 was a big issue for SRH in IPL 2024. This is one area they would like to improve. Also, when they lost an early wicket, they did not have anyone to continue the momentum set by the aggressive openers.
Marsh ticks all these boxes. With him taking control a few overs until the 10th, the likes of Nitish Reddy and Heinrich Klaasen can take over after that. Therefore, he is on this list.
2) Mitchell Starc
Mitchell Starc is one of the Australian cricketers Pat Cummins and SRH could target in IPL 2025 Mega Auctions. It will not be a surprise if SRH goes with the strategy of two overseas pacers. Teams with such a tactic have done well in IPL before.
With the batting and the bowling core handled by experienced foreigners, the Indian youngsters will play with more freedom. Therefore, SRH could target Starc for the next cycle. He offers terrific new-ball value and combines well with Pat Cummins. The batting depth will also improve with his arrival.
3) Marcus Stoinis
SRH could like a No.6 who can also provide a few overs. Marcus Stoinis fits the bill perfectly. Last season, he was also in good form.
With Stoinis there, the burden on Klaasen will also be reduced. The team will also get one more batter with raw power and a decent medium-pacer.
