Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) retained five players ahead of the IPL 2025 auction, which included some key players and players who could be effective part-time options. They filled the gaps in their bowling lineup during the auction by acquiring high-quality bowlers who were missing last season.

The previous SRH team had a lot of batting and struggled with bowling, but for the upcoming season they have ensured a more balanced bowling line-up with all bases covered.

Let’s take a look at the strongest SRH bowling attack for IPL 2025.

Mohammed Shami and Pat Cummins as Powerplay bowlers

Mohammed Shami and Pat Cummins will be the new powerplay bowlers for SRH in IPL 2025. In 2023, Shami won the Orange Cap for his 28 wickets for the Gujarat Titans but could not play in IPL 2024 due to injury . which he suffered after the 2023 World Cup final. Now that he has returned from injury, SRH will expect the same from him next season.

Cummins is adept at bowling in the powerplay and can also make an important contribution in the middle and death overs, as evidenced by his 18 wickets last season.

The new ball in the hands of Shami and Cummins forms a formidable combination that can challenge any batting lineup.

Harshal Patel as third pacer in the middle and Death Overs

SRH’s third pacer Harshal Patel will play mainly in the middle and mortals. He won the Purple Cap twice, in 2021 and 2024, and has been one of the best pacers in the last few IPL seasons.

He is well known for his variations and wicket-taking ability, and SRH will look to him to produce solid performances in the upcoming season.

Adam Zampa and Rahul Chahar as Spin Duo

Adam Zampa and Rahul Chahar will lead SRH’s spin attack in IPL 2025. Zampa, who missed IPL 2024 due to personal reasons while at RR, has now joined SRH. Although he has not played many IPL matches, his vast international experience and performances in domestic leagues make him one of the best players in limited overs cricket.

Rahul Chahar, formerly with Punjab Kings, will also play a key role in the middle order. He took 10 wickets last season and, along with Zampa, will look to control the game and provide crucial breakthroughs for SRH.
