One move by Kavya Maran to cause massive loss to players, big names include...
Image credit: X (Formerly Twitter) The IPL 2025 season did not go as expected for Sunrisers Hyderabad. The team, which won only 6 out of 14 matches, missed out on a place in the playoffs. SRH, known for its strong batting and bowling last season, seemed to lose its rhythm this time. Now that the season is over for them, the team owner Kavya Maran and the management will soon start preparing a strategy for the next season. This may include releasing some underperforming players and including new faces through the trade window. At the same time, their eyes are going to be on some star players in the mini auction. IPL franchises release those players after every season who do not live up to expectations. Sunrisers Hyderabad may also consider releasing some players whose performance was average this season. Big players like Mohammed Shami and Kamindu Mendis may be included in the release list. This season was very bad for Mohammed Shami. He could take only 6 wickets in 9 matches. At the same time, his economy was also more than 11. On the other hand, Kamindu Mendis could also score only 92 runs in 5 matches and took 2 wickets. Atharva Tayde can also be released. However, he did not get many opportunities, and when he got a chance, he failed to make an impact. He was included in the playing 11 only once. That is, the team did not show much confidence in him, due to which he can be released. Sachin Baby also got to play only 1 match, that is, he also did not fit into the team's plans. Rahul Chahar and Wiaan Mulder also got to play 1-1 matches, so their names can also be in the list of players to be released. Sunrisers Hyderabad retained its core group in the 2025 auction and retained Heinrich Klaasen (Rs 23 crore), Pat Cummins (Rs 18 crore), Travis Head (Rs 14 crore), Abhishek Sharma (Rs 14 crore) and Nitish Kumar Reddy (Rs 6 crore). The performance of these players was also good, so the team can retain these star players with them. Apart from this, Ishan Kishan and Harshal Patel also managed to leave their mark. These players can also be included in the team's future plans. Harshal brought the team back on many occasions with his death over bowling, while Kishan made useful contributions in some important innings. Now many important decisions will be in front of the management of Sunrisers. They will have to decide which players to retain and who to replace through the trade window or mini auction. Apart from this, the possibility of changes in the support staff and coaching team cannot be ruled out. IPL 2025 may have been disappointing, but Sunrisers fans are hopeful that the next season will be better. Kavya Maran and the team management are expected to adopt a solid strategy and take the team to the top again in the next season.

Heinrich Klaasen sets SRH mark with 37-ball carnage as Hyderabad smash IPL record with colossal 278 vs KKR
Sunrisers Hyderabad, on Sunday, came full circle in IPL 2025. After 13 matches over 62 days, their batters rediscovered the aggression that had gone missing for much of the campaign — a slump that saw them crash out of the playoff race early. Travis Head's fifty and Heinrich Klaasen's 37-ball century powered the 2016 champions to a record IPL total against Kolkata Knight Riders. Sunrisers had started the season with a bang, posting 286 against Rajasthan Royals in their opening game. It was the second-highest team total in IPL history, as they narrowly missed out on breaking their own record of 287, posted last year. The SRH template was again visible in the final game as they put up yet another total that seemed unsurpassable. Head, who only recovered from Covid-19 earlier this week, which delayed his return to the tournament on resumption, saved his best for the final game as he fired an 18-ball fifty to get Sunrisers off to a fiery start. Coupled with Abhishek Sharma (32 off 16 balls), the openers laced 79 runs in the powerplay, en route to a 92-run stand. Klaasen continued the mayhem, smashing nine maximums and seven boundaries as he notched up his second career IPL ton. Reaching the triple-figure mark in just 37 balls, the South African not only set a new SRH record, it was also the joint-third quickest IPL ton in history and the second fastest this season after Vaibhav Suryavanshi's 35-ball show against the Gujarat Titans earlier this month. Klaasen became the second overseas batter to hit two or more IPL centuries from No. 3 or lower after South Africa great AB de Villiers (3). His nine sixes in the innings was also the second-most by an SRH batter after 10 maximums by Abhishek against PBKS at Hyderabad earlier this season. On one of the flattest decks on offer, SRH batters showed no mercy to the likes of Anrich Nortje (0/60 in 4 overs), Harshit Rana (0/40 in 3 overs), Varun Chakravarthy (0/54 in 3 overs) and Sunil Narine (2/42 in 4 overs) as they posted 278 for six. It was the third-highest team total in IPL history, with SRH now occupying the top four spots. It was also the highest score by a team against KKR, going past the previous best of 262, by Punjab in 2024 at the Eden Gardens. It is now also the highest IPL team total at the Arun Jaitley Stadium with SRH bettering their own feat of 266, scored last year against the Delhi Capitals.
