Despite finishing last in the 2023 IPL season, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) retained their core group and released only six players. Heading into the IPL 2024 auction with six slots to fill, they secured notable acquisitions such as Pat Cummins and Travis Head, both 2023 ODI World Cup winners.
However, despite boasting a strong squad on paper last season, SRH’s underperformance led to their disappointing finish. They parted ways with players like Harry Brook and invested heavily in new talent.
Bagging Travis Head and Wanindu Hasaranga at bargain prices added depth to their squad while splurging INR 20.50 crore on Pat Cummins made history as the league’s costliest buy. SRH now boasts one of the most settled lineups among IPL franchises. SRH is set to kick off their IPL campaign against KKR on March 23rd.
