3 players Sunrisers Hyderabad might trade before IPL 2026 Auction

Ishan Kishan

A big-money signing Ishan Kishan was another underwhelming performer for SRH in IPL 2025. He was purchased for INR 11.25 crore, and the wicketkeeper-batter started the season with a bang, scoring a century in the opening match. However, he failed to maintain that form, finishing with 354 runs in 13 innings. His inconsistency and struggle to adapt to different match situations hurt SRH’s middle-order stability.

Given his high price tag and inconsistent returns, SRH might trade Kishan to free up funds and look for a more composed wicketkeeper-batter who can anchor the innings in the middle overs.
