SRH Player Release Predictions: Given Sunrisers Hyderabad’s (SRH) formidable batting lineup, there were predictions of them crossing the 300-run mark in the Indian Premier League 2025 (IPL 2025). While they did surprise with explosive striking in some matches, the Orange Army fell short of their best performance last season. Despite an aggressive top order featuring Abhishek Sharma, Travis Head, Ishan Kishan, and Heinrich Klaasen, they lost four of their first five matches, leading to their downfall.
SRH had spent ₹75 crore on their five retained players, including captain Pat Cummins, yet managed to acquire big names like Ishan Kishan, Mohammed Shami, and Adam Zampa in the IPL 2025 mega auction. However, their campaign in the tournament was not successful. Now, with the retention deadline for IPL 2026 likely to be November 15, they might release some big names.
SRH will have to make a tough decision regarding Mohammed Shami before the IPL 2026 mini-auction. Bought for ₹10 crore last season, the experienced fast bowler faced one of his toughest seasons in the league, taking only 6 wickets in 9 matches with an economy rate of 11.23. His rhythm deserted him, and his yorkers went missing. Shami’s declining form and pace proved quite costly. Releasing him could free up a significant sum of ₹10 crore.
Another experienced Indian international player on this list is Ishan Kishan, who was one of the marquee signings last year. The former Mumbai Indians (MI) opener entered the auction and attracted bids from multiple teams. SRH won the bid, surprising some as they already had two left-handed openers in Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head. Klaasen was also designated as the wicketkeeper. Despite this, Kishan was placed at number three, where he managed only 138 runs at an average of 26.60. Releasing him could provide SRH with ₹11.25 crore for the mini-auction.
Rahul Chahar, who won two IPL titles with Mumbai Indians, only got the opportunity to play one match for SRH last season and bowled just one over. Instead, the team saw significant potential in young players like Zeeshan Ansari and Harsha Dubey, whose combined cost was only ₹60 lakh. SRH might also show Rahul Chahar the exit before the mini-auction.
Pat Cummins (c), Travis Head, Abhinav Manohar, Atharva Taide, Aniket Verma, Samarth Ravichandran, Heinrich Klaasen (wk), Sachin Baby, Ishan Kishan (wk), Harshal Patel, Willem Mulder, Kamindu Mendis, Abhishek Sharma, Harsha Dubey, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Mohammed Shami, Jaydev Unadkat, Brydon Carse, Simarjeet Singh, Ishan Malinga, Adam Zampa, Rahul Chahar, Zeeshan Ansari.
