SRH Squad 2025 | Retained, Released and Auction Players List

Sunrisers Hyderabad’s performance was very impressive last year in IPL 2024, and they fought until the last game. Unfortunately, they lost the IPL final match against KKR. The SRH squad for IPL 2025 will be stronger and well-balanced after defeat in the final and unable to clinch the trophy in the upcoming IPL edition because they consumed 60% purse in the recent IPL retentions. The bad days of Sunrisers Hyderabad started when the team management removed David Warner from captaincy in IPL 2021. After that, the team never qualified for playoffs and was knocked out from the league stage from 2021-23. The Sunrisers management knows exactly how to return and rebound in the upcoming IPL Sseason 2025.

SRH Team History

Sunrisers Hyderabad was added as a new team in the Indian Premier League in 2012. The Deccan Chargers were replaced with Sunrisers Hyderabad, and they played their first IPL season in 2013. The Hyderabad-based team played their practice matches at Rajiv Gandhi Cricket Stadium in Hyderabad, India, as their home ground. Sun TV Network owned the SRH team in a bidding war for an amount of ₹85.05 crore, approximately USD 11 million.

SRH Team Overview 2025

David Warner was a suitable opening batsman for Sunrisers Hyderabad; since the franchise was released, David Warner, the team has not found powerful opening batters until 2023. This was SRH’s biggest mistake, and the team did not perform well in terms of the batting lineup. However, the team played well the whole IPL 2024 and reached the final, unfortunately, beaten by the KKR. To understand the situation and fill this gap, the team management has decided to choose the world’s best players to strengthen their SRH team for IPL 2025.
