Hyderabad will retain these players before IPL mega auction, Klaasen will be shocked

• Sunrisers Hyderabad enter IPL 2024 with a different approach
  
• Played very aggressive cricket under the leadership of new captain Pat Cummins
  
• There will be a challenge to retain 5 players against Hyderabad as well

Sunrisers Hyderabad entered IPL 2024 with a different approach and played very aggressive cricket under the leadership of new captain Pat Cummins. This aggressive attitude benefited the team and it managed to reach the final. However, SRH could not win the title and lost to Kolkata Knight Riders in the final. Now the mega auction is going to be held before the next season and like all the franchises, Hyderabad will also face the challenge of retaining 5 players. In such a situation, they will have to release some of their best players.

There is no official confirmation yet on how many players can be retained before the mega auction. However, we believe that by retaining 3 players and using the Right to Match for 2, each team can retain at least 5 players. In such a situation, in this article we are going to mention 5 such players who can be seen with the Hyderabad team before the IPL 2025 mega auction.

pat cummins

Australian ODI and Test captain Pat Cummins was bought by the Hyderabad franchise for more than Rs 20 crore in the last auction. His move was also successful and Cummins performed brilliantly on both bowling and captaincy fronts. In such a situation, it can be expected that Sunrisers Hyderabad will keep faith in Cummins and retain him.

Travis Head

Australia's explosive opener Travis Head also batted brilliantly in IPL 2024 and was the highest run scorer for the Hyderabad team. He scored 567 runs at a strike rate of 191.55, including 1 century. If Head comes in the mega auction, it may be difficult for Sunrisers Hyderabad to get him back. In such a situation, the team would like to retain him.

Abhishek Sharma

Along with Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma also wreaked havoc in IPL 2024. He scored 484 runs in the recent season and his strike rate was more than 200. Abhishek has the skill of batting as well as spin bowling. He is still young and will be a valuable player for any team for the next few seasons. That is why Sunrisers Hyderabad wants to retain him.

T Natarajan

Left-arm fast bowler T Natarajan performed well in the 17th season of IPL and took the most 19 wickets for Sunrisers Hyderabad. In terms of recent performance and age, Natarajan is a better option than Bhuvneshwar Kumar. In such a situation, he can also be retained.

Nitish Kumar Reddy

Right-handed all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy got a chance to play for Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL 2024 and he performed very well. Nitish did not get many opportunities in bowling but he did wonders with the bat and scored more than 300 runs. It is difficult to find an all-rounder who can bat as well as bowl fast. For this reason, SRH team can retain Nitish.
