SRH batting line-up

The exciting IPL 2026 mini auction in Abu Dhabi has come to an interesting end. With this mini auction, all the franchises have strengthened their squads. This time, the Sunrisers Hyderabad franchise, which participated in the auction very strategically , has acquired key players and strengthened its batting and bowling department. If you look at the Sunrisers batting core after the mini auction, the opposing bowlers will have to tremble. Fans say that it is certain to hit 300 with this batting lineup!

Sunrisers, who have been entering the fray with a formidable batting lineup since IPL 2024, are ready to provide even more entertainment in IPL 2026. Starting with the formidable openers, along with the addition of middle-order hitters and the latest addition of power hitter Liam Livingstone, it can be said that Sunrisers have no regrets this time.

If we take a look at the Sunrisers Hyderabad batting line-up, we can see that Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Heinrich Klaasen, Liam Livingstone, Aniket Verma, along with Smran Ravichandran as their backup, and Salil Arora has now been added. Even though Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma were at the crease as openers until the power play, the scoreboard went beyond 200.

Ishan Kishan after joining Sunrisers has also gone for full-on hitting. In case the middle-order gets to see Heinrich Klaas for a while, the runs will be there without any trouble. One can hardly expect anything less from Liam Livingstone who is just joining the team. He is already stealing the show through his all-round performance in the Dubai T20 League where he is playing like a winner. In the end, Aniket Verma can put up big scores in the death overs with sixes. Captain Pat Cummins can also score fours with his bat. If Nitish Kumar Reddy is also in the form, Sunrisers will be even a stronger team.

The team of Sunrisers Hyderabad owns the IPL highest total score record in history. IPL 2024 saw a score of 287/3 made against Royal Challengers Bangalore, which is currently the highest score on record. In IPL 2025, the Sunrisers tallied 286/6 against the Royals. They also made last season's 278/3 against Kolkata Knight Riders, and they scored 277/3 against Mumbai in IPL 2024. Interestingly, all the top 4 highest total records in IPL are from the Sunrisers Hyderabad team. This year, due to a stronger batting core, it is like a 300-run record.
