SRH IPL 2026 Auction: Spinners, All-Rounder and Indian Fast Bowler Top Priority
SRH IPL 2026 auction needs: Sunrisers Hyderabad target spinners, a quality all-rounder and an Indian fast bowler after releasing Zampa, Chahar and Shami.
SRH captain Pat Cummins was retained ahead of the IPL 2026 mini auction as the franchise looks to rebuild its bowling unit.
Sunrisers Hyderabad is ready to do business over from the IPL 2026 mini-auction. When it comes to rebuilding the squad balance, Sunrisers Hyderabad is looking to strengthen an already-deleted bowling core. After releasing Adam Zampa, Rahul Chahar, and Mohammed Shami, SRH is lacking spin options and an agreement on bolstering the fast-bowling department with complete efficiency.
SRH’s Key Requirements for IPL 2026 Auction
1. Specialist Spinners
With Zampa and Chahar no longer in the squad, SRH has a significant shortage in spin resources. The franchise is expected to target at least two frontline spinners to rebuild its spin attack.
2. A Reliable All-Rounder
SRH needs an all-rounder who can offer both batting depth and a dependable sixth-bowling option. This slot becomes crucial to balance the XI, especially on slow pitches.
3. Indian Fast Bowler
After Shami’s exit, the team requires a strong Indian pacer to rotate alongside Pat Cummins and Harshal Patel. This will help maintain pace depth through the long tournament.
Auction Purse and Current Squad
Remaining Purse: ₹25.50 crore
Retained Core: Pat Cummins, Travis Head, Heinrich Klaasen, Abhishek Sharma, Harshal Patel, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Ishan Kishan, Jaydev Unadkat and others.
Current Squad:
Abhishek Sharma, Aniket Verma, Brydon Carse, Eshan Malinga, Harsh Dubey, Harshal Patel, Heinrich Klaasen, Ishan Kishan, Jaydev Unadkat, Kamindu Mendis, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Pat Cummins, R Smaran, Travis Head, Zeeshan Ansari.
Without a doubt, IPL 2022 auctions are a matter of paramount importance for SRH this season to create a strong unit considering their gap-filling and substantial purse.
