SRH probable playing 11 for IPL 2026 after auction

Middle Order: Heinrich Klaasen, Aniket Verma

Heinrich Klaasen is expected to be the backbone of SRH’s middle order. He has scored over 400 runs in three consecutive IPL seasons while maintaining a strike rate above 170, proving his ability to dominate bowling attacks. Klaasen’s form will be crucial for the team’s success.

Aniket Verma, likely to bat at No. 5, scored over 200 runs last season. While his numbers are not eye-catching, he has played key innings under pressure and has the potential to develop into a reliable middle-order contributor as the tournament progresses.
