With several lagoons on the side, SRH will trust its main stars to do heavy job in IPL 2025.
Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) was possibly the most exciting side of the previous edition of India Premier League (IPL). They had a magnificent season, but they could not overcome Kolkata Knight riders in the playoffs, ending as the finalist. The side led by Pat Cummins will seek to go one step further in the next IPL 2025.
SRH retained five of his star players from the previous season. They passed 23 million rupees for Heinrich Klaasen while they assured Travis Head, Pat Cummins, Abhishek Sharma and Nithish Kumar Reddy. Sunrisers did not have a great Mega auction since his team has several problems. That makes some of its players even more crucial. Here we take a look at four players in which your IPL 2025 campaign will depend.
Travis head
Travis Head is one of the most feared batters in the world. In recent years, he has raised his game to a completely new level. It was one of the main reasons for Hyderab Sunrisers to reach the final. He formed a destructive opening couple along with Abhishek Sharma.
Head accumulated 567 races in the season, with an average of 40.50 while hitting at an incredible rate of 191. The Australian batter reached a century and four centuries in the tournament. The releases in the last IPL season were very flat, but the head has been brilliant in all the T20. Since 2023, it has more than 1600 races to 37.44 average and 176 attack rate.
Heinrich Klaasen
South African power is one of the best T20 players in the world, with the ability to destroy the rhythm and turn equally. Heinrich Klaasen has little or no weaknesses, which makes it one of the toughest batters against which to play.
He had a magnificent season for SRH last year, where he accumulated 479 races at an average of almost 40 while hitting 171. Klaasen will have the responsibility of the average order in IPL 2025, with a lot of inexperience around him in the SHR alignment.
Abhishek Sharma
Abhishek Sharma is quickly becoming one of the most exciting batters to see in the white ball cryket. The SRH starter had a very good season last year, with 484 races at an average of 32 and a strike rate of 204. It will seek to improve that at IPL 2025.

Sharma had an excellent series against England last month, where he showed his true potential. He was in his best glorious T20i in Wankhede, breaking 135 only 54 deliveries. Sunrisers Hyderab will wait for similar fireworks in the next two months.

Mohammed Shami
Mohammed Shami is an excellent operator of the new ball and can extract any movement on offer. Since 2021, he has taken 32 wickets in the power game in an economy of 6.81. But it also has the tendency to leak the races when help is not offered. In the last four years, he has granted at 9.80 between 12 and 20.
Shami is moving from Gujarat’s Titans to Sunrisers Hyderabad and will be eager to deliver them. How does it with the ball could decide how far SRH arrives in IPL 2025.
