IPL 2025 Auction: 3 Key Players Sunrisers Hyderabad Could Target to Fix Squad Gaps

After a great IPL 2024 season, Sunrisers Hyderabad could not meet expectations in IPL 2025. The Pat Cummins is the captain for power hitting batting unit and a powerful bowling line-up but when it came to the team planing, they failed and it resulted in the team finishing sixth in the points table. They were at the bottom for a while as well, but things changed towards the fag end, which helped the team finish in a respectable position.

With the 2023–24 season approaching, the franchise will aim to fill some of the holes in their roster that were exposed last year. Mohammed Shami was traded away, and players like Wiaan Mulder and Abhinav Manohar were released from their contracts. They currently have INR 25.5 crore available to spend at auction, which will enable them to target many of the top-tier players.

Matt Henry

Hyderabad will also look for an overseas pacer to complement Pat Cummins. They need someone who can deliver with the new ball after Shami’s departure and Henry could be an excellent addition. Notably, the 33-year-old has played 33 T20Is, claiming 40 wickets at an economy rate of 8.33.

David Miller

Sunrisers Hyderabad also need a hard-hitting batter at number five or six. Travis Head, Heinrich Klaasen and Cummins are sure overseas picks, and the fourth foreign spot could go to someone like Henry or Miller. Last season, Hyderabad struggled heavily to finish games and it won’t be surprising to see them get someone like Miller, who can form a deadly partnership with Klassen, something that SRH would surely love.

Ravi Bishnoi

Sunrisers Hyderabad may spend big money on Ravi Bishnoi. They badly need an experienced Indian spinner after letting go of Rahul Chahar and Adam Zampa. Bishnoi is a perfect choice, and it won’t be a surprise if SRH and Chennai Super Kings both try hard to sign the 25-year-old. He has played 77 matches in the cash-rich league, claiming 72 wickets at an economy rate of 8.21. Notably, a possible bidding war could help Bishnoi fetch around 13-15 crore in the auction.
