Sunrisers Hyderabad had a good run in IPL 2024. They were able to display a brand of cricket that attracted many fans. They are in a strong situation even if a Mega Auction happens before IPL 2025. Here, we take a look at the list of five players Sunrisers Hyderabad might retain before IPL 2025 Mega Auctions.
1) Pat Cummins
Pat Cummins is one of the players Sunrisers Hyderabad might retain before the IPL 2025 Mega Auctions. The Australian skipper proved his worth with his performances in IPL 2024. More than his bowling and cameos with the bat, it was his leadership that impressed many.
2) Heinrich Klaasen
It would not be a surprise if Klaasen is retained as the first retention for SRH. He is in top form with the bat and is very reliable behind the stumps. Against spinners, there is no better batter than him at the moment. Therefore, he is sure to be retained by the team.
3) Abhishek Sharma
Abhishek Sharma is also one of the players Sunrisers Hyderabad might retain before the IPL 2025 Mega Auctions. Being an uncapped player, till now, Abhishek would be an automatic retention for SRH. In fact, he could even be groomed as the future captain of the franchise.
4) Travis Head
Travis Head could not get going in the final few games of the season. Nevertheless, he is a destructive batter and has forged a good combination with Abhishek Sharma. Head can also be a handy off-spinner. These reasons could make him an easy pick for the franchise.
5) Nitish Reddy
Nitish Reddy is also on this list of players Sunrisers Hyderabad might retain before the IPL 2025 Mega Auctions. Having won the Emerging Player Award, Nitish’s stocks have risen in value. He is an upcoming all-rounder and would be valued by the SRH setup. T Natarajan would also be another option for SRH to consider.
