<p><strong><a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-players/travis-head/">Travis Head</a></strong> and Abhishek Sharma have been one of the IPL’s most frightening opening pairs since coming together in 2024. Nicknamed ‘Travishek’, the pair have been at their belligerent best in 2026, scoring 627 runs in 12 innings at a strike rate of 211.82. They have put up four half-century stands and two century stands. Despite a rare failure against the Titans, Head has been in great form of late, scoring 361 runs at 171.09. Abhishek has been one of the Sunrisers’ best batters, scoring 481 runs at 209.13.</p>
<p>Ishan Kishan has been a reliable presence at number 3 for the team in orange. He has scored 420 runs at a strike rate of 185.84, with four half-centuries. He stepped up as skipper in the absence of Pat Cummins and has done brilliantly with the gloves in hand.</p>

<h3>Middle order: Heinrich Klaasen, Salil Arora, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Smaran Ravichandran,</h3>

</figure>
<p><strong><a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-players/heinrich-klaasen/">Heinrich Klaasen</a></strong> has been the Sunrisers’ most reliable batter in IPL 2026. The former South African international has evolved his game to that of a middle-overs anchor, who stabilises the innings before displaying his merciless hitting ability. He is the leading run-scorer for SRH in IPL 2026 with 508 runs at a strike rate of 153.93. Salil Arora has proved himself as a potent six-hitter, playing a blinder against the Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Nitish Kumar Reddy has perhaps been the Sunrisers’ most improved player in 2026. After working on his bowling during the off-season, he has stepped seamlessly into the role of a reliable fast-bowling all-rounder. He has picked up key wickets and scored vital runs with the bat, a major key to the side’s balance. Smaran Ravichandran has been one of the hottest prospects in the domestic game in recent years, but the southpaw has yet to make a mark in the IPL.</p>
<p></p>
<h3>Lower order/bowlers: Pat Cummins (c), Shivang Kumar, Eshan Malinga, Sakib Hussain, Praful Hinge&nbsp;</h3>

<p>The return of skipper Pat Cummins has added significant balance and threat to the SRH bowling attack. He has picked up five wickets in five games and is a reliable all-phase option to their attack. Shivang Kumar has been one of the standouts of the season. The left-arm wrist spinner has picked up eight wickets in ten games, going at an economy of 9.5.</p>
<p><strong><a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-players/eshan-malinga/">Eshan Malinga</a></strong> has been the Sunrisers’ premier strike bowler in the 2026 season. The Sri Lankan speedster has picked up 16 wickets in 12 games, leading the way as an all-phase wicket taker. The uncapped duo of Praful Hinge and Sakib Hussain stepped onto the scene, picking up four-wicket hauls against the Rajasthan Royals on debut. Sakib has been a trustworthy death-overs option, bowling with control and executing his yorkers with consistency. Hinge has bowled predominantly with the new ball, but has chipped in with wickets in the middle and death overs.</p>
