5 players SRH might release ahead of IPL 2026 auction
Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) were runners-up in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. However, in 2025, they finished sixth, spending a considerable amount of time at the bottom of the table.
2. Ishan Kishan
Ishan Kishan was one of the biggest signings for SRH in the IPL 2025 mega auction. The Orange Army roped him in for a whopping INR 11.25 crore. Kishan started his journey at SRH with a bang, smashing an unbeaten 106 off 47 balls against the Rajasthan Royals on his franchise debut. However, he went through a prolonged lean patch after this score. In the penultimate match of the season, he scored a majestic 94* off 48 balls against Royal Challengers Bengaluru.
The southpaw finished with 354 runs from 14 matches, a disappointing campaign barring the two phenomenal knocks. It seems highly unlikely that the 27-year-old will be retained by the franchise. However, he can always be taken back at the auction, as the dynamics of the team can change a lot given their proven opening pair of Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head.
