Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) have been known for their fearsome batting lineup, featuring stars like Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, Heinrich Klassen, and Ishan Kishan. However, the team could not replicate the consistency it showed in IPL 2024, and this led to them missing out on the playoffs in the recent edition.

Ahead of IPL 2026, SRH will look to regroup, strengthen key areas, and assemble a balanced squad capable of challenging for the title. Here let us take a look at five players they could target in the upcoming mini-auction.

Jammu & Kashmir pacer Auqib Khan is one player SRH could prioritise in the IPL 2026 mini-auction. The fast bowler has impressed in the domestic circuit, claiming 28 wickets in T20s. He also delivered some impactful spells in the Ranji Trophy, which has brought him into the selectors’ spotlight. Auqib could be an excellent replacement for Harshal Patel, offering both pace and variations, while also gaining experience on the big stage.
