Mohammed Shami to Jaydev Unadkat: Probable list of player who may get released from SRH before IPL 2026
After being eliminated from the group stage in IPL 2025, Sunrisers Hyderabad is now preparing for the upcoming IPL 2026. Looking at the performance of the team, it is believed that some players will be released. In this report, we take a look at five players whom the SRH franchise can release before the next season.
South African all-rounder Wiaan Mulder was included in the team by SRH, but he got a chance to play in only one match. After such a limited opportunity, it is believed that SRH can release him before the upcoming season to give space to new options.
The team bought experienced fast bowler Jaydev Unadkat for Rs 1 crore, but despite playing in the season, he could not make any special impact. Looking at his form and economy, SRH can give a chance to a new fast bowler in his place in the next season.
Bought by SRH for Rs 3.2 crore, batsman Abhinav Manohar scored only 61 runs in 7 matches this season. Due to lack of consistency and inability to score runs, the franchise can release him and give a chance to another young player in his place.
Rahul Chahar was bought by SRH for Rs 3.2 crore, but he got a chance to play only one match in the entire season. It is clear that he was not part of the team's plans and SRH can release him before the upcoming mini auction.
India's star fast bowler Mohammed Shami, bought by SRH for Rs 10 crore, took only 6 wickets in 9 matches in IPL 2025. This performance was very poor compared to his price. In such a situation, Shami's release may be a surprising move, but SRH can make a big change in its bowling department.
Looking at the performance of these five players, SRH is now moving towards preparing its team afresh for 2026. The franchise is considering new options before the mini auction, which can give new balance and strength to the team.

B'luru stampede: Minister hands over Rs 25L cheque to victim's kin
Mandya: Mandya district minister N Cheluvarayaswamy on Sunday handed over a cheque for Rs 25 lakh to the next of kin of a youth who was killed in the Bengaluru stampede. He visited Poornachandra's house at Rayasamudra in KR Pete taluk and handed over the compensation cheque to his mother. The youth died during the RCB victory celebration held in Bengaluru. KR Pete MLA HT Manju and deputy commissioner Kumara accompanied the minister. Poornachandra, 28, the only son of Chandru and Kanthamma, was in Bengaluru on June 4 to meet a prospective bride — a visit that ended in unimaginable tragedy.

'Shreyas Iyer Should've Slapped Me, I Was...': Shashank Singh Admits Runout Error
Last Updated: Punjab Kings' Shashank Singh has admitted that Shreyas Iyer 'should have slapped him' for his casual running between the wickets against Mumbai Indians in IPL 2025. Punjab Kings (PBKS)'s vice-captain Shashank Singh said on Sunday that he deserved not only to be shouted at but also a slap from skipper Shreyas Iyer for his 'casual' running between the wickets against Mumbai Indians (MI) in the second Qualifier of IPL 2025. He also revealed that Shreyas took him out to dinner afterwards. Shreyas led PBKS' stellar chase in the knockout match, scoring an unbeaten 87 off 41 to help chase a record 204 against MI. But the win became more difficult for him to achieve than it should have been when Shashank got run out for 2 in the 17th over by being lethargic off the blocks and not putting his best effort. In the post-match handshakes, Shreyas was seen hurling abuses at Shashank, which led to severe criticism of him on social media. 'I deserve it, Iyer should have slapped me, my father didn't speak to me till the finals," Shashank told The Indian Express. 'I was casual, I was walking on the beach not even in the garden. It was a crucial time, Shreyas was clear that I didn't expect this from you but later he took me out for dinner," he added. PBKS qualified for the final by beating MI but couldn't win their first title, losing to Rajat Patidar's Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the final in Ahmedabad. 'Whatever I have spoken to others and seen, there is no better captain than him in current times in world cricket. He gives us freedom, he treats everyone equally. No one will say, Shreyas has an attitude. The youngsters in the dressing room find him to be a chill bandaa. Shreyas is the only captain, who has told us that if anyone has any suggestion during the game, he can come and convey it to him. If he feels it's the right advice, he will take it. It's rare," Shashank said. He finished the season as the second-highest scorer for PBKS with 341 runs and a strike rate of 153. First Published:

C. Jerome Vinith has a new team in the Prime Volleyball League (PVL). After smashing away winners for Cailcut Heroes in all the three seasons of the league thus far, he was picked up for ₹22.5 lakh by Chennai Blitz at the auction for Season 4 here on Sunday. The Chennai franchise faced some stiff competition from Bengaluru Torpedoes before securing the services of Vinith, the Most Valuable Player last season in which he took Calicut all the way to the title. Two other men also went for ₹22.5 lakh — Vinit Kumar (Kochi Blue Spikers) and Shameemudheen (Calicut). Hyderabad Black Hawks got Shikhar Singh for Rs. 16 lakh, while Jasjodh Singh was bought for Rs. 14.75 lakh by Kochi. Bengaluru bought P.V. Jishnu for Rs. 14 lakh, while Ahmedabad Defenders spent Rs 11.5 lakh (right to match) on Shon T. John. The fourth edition of the league is scheduled to be held in October. It has expanded to 10 teams, with the addition of Goa Guardians. Delhi Toofans, Mumbai Meteors and Kolkata Thunderbolts complete the line-up. After the auction, Tuhin Mishra, the co-founder of Baseline Ventures (the company behind the PVL) expressed hopes for a brighter future. 'The league's last edition attracted 200 million television viewers on our broadcaster Sony, and that is a huge number,' he said. 'We hope that number would be bigger this season. And for streaming on the global stage, we have tied up with the world's biggest OTT platform, YouTube.' Joy Bhattacharjya, the league's CEO, said the auction highlighted some young talents. 'And the senior players like Jerome got the kind of money they deserved,' he said.
