5 SRH players who can be match-winners in IPL 2026

4) Aniket Verma

When Aniket Verma was scouted and signed by the Sunrisers Hyderabad, they were fully aware of what they were getting: a lower-middle order six-hitter who can strike a long ball. Playing as a finisher in the 2025 season, Aniket scored 236 runs, striking at an impressive 166.20. An impressive 41-ball 74 against the Delhi Capitals and a blistering cameo of 36 runs from just 13 balls, including five sixes, were his best knocks in the season.

Now, in his second season, Aniket has established himself as a regular in the Sunrisers team, and with his power-packed six-hitting ability, he will be expected to contribute more to the back end of the innings.
