On Monday, the much-anticipated IPL 2025 mega auction was completed after two hectic days of intense bidding in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. After submitting their final retention list on October 31, the ten IPL franchises utilised their remaining purse amount to assemble solid squads ahead of the tournament's next season.
Talking about Sunrisers Hyderabad, the IPL 2024 runners-up bought some explosive batters, including former Mumbai Indians player Ishan Kishan, while spending a massive amount on Indian speedsters Mohammad Shami and Harshal Patel. They also went after several talented domestic players, adding them to their star-studded team.
So, as the Sunrisers have finalised their squad, let's analyse and find out their strongest combination for IPL 2025.
SRH Squad For IPL 2025
Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Heinrich Klaasen, Abhinav Manohar, Pat Cummins (C), Harshal Patel, Mohammad Shami, Jaydev Unadkat, Atharva Taide, Adam Zampa, Aniket Varma, Sachin Baby, Kamindu Mendis, Brydon Carse, Rahul Chahar, Simarjeet Singh, Zeeshan Ansari, Eshan Malinga

The opening batting duo of Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma did an outstanding job for Sunrisers Hyderabad last season. The swashbuckling southpaws were the primary reason behind SRH's stunning performance in the IPL 2024, powering them to the final of the competition. So, they will continue to open the batting and can torment the opposition in the powerplay.

Middle Order Of SRH For IPL 2025
Ishan Kishan, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Heinrich Klaasen, Abhinav Manohar
With Head and Abhishek opening the batting, SRH will likely slot Ishan Kishan at number three. The explosive batter can counter pace and spin, making him a valuable asset at the top order for the franchise.
Meanwhile, promising all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy will be SRH's wrecker-in-chief in the middle order, thanks to his clean-hitting ability. He will be followed by Heinrich Klaasen, who is hailed for his ability to smack the ball out of the park. The explosive South African batter will spearhead SRH's finishing department alongside Abhinav Manohar, who played a pivotal role for Gujarat Titans in the lower middle order.
Bowlers Of SRH For IPL 2025
Pat Cummins, Harshal Patel, Mohammad Shami, Jaydev Unadkat, Adam Zampa
Skipper Pat Cummins will lead SRH's bowling attack alongside veteran Indian pacer Mohammad Shami. The duo will shoulder the franchise's powerplay bowling, with Harshal Patel and Jaydev Unadkat likely to assist them in the middle and death overs.
Considering his reputation and bowling heroics over the years, Adam Zampa should lead the Sunrisers' spin department, although they also have Rahul Chahar. The Australian spinner will be swapped with either Atharva Taide or Sachin Baby as the impact player.
