Kolkata : Despite rumours surrounding a potential exit, SRH retained their big-money South African asset in Heinrich Klaasen while the likes of Adam Zampa and Rahul Chahar were let go. The headline exit is of Indian pacer Mohammed Shami who was traded out to Lucknow Super Giants. With Shami already being traded to the Lucknow Super Giants for Rs 10 crore, SRH let go of some domestic talent like Abhinav Manohar, Rahul Chahar and Simarjeet Singh. They have managed to keep hold of their star assets like Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma and Pat Cummins.
After reaching the final of the 2024 Indian Premier League, Sunrisers Hyderabad, under the leadership of Pat Cummins, had an ordinary season last year and they failed to qualify for the playoffs. Despite having an attacking batting line-up mid-way through the last season, SRH, due to regular failures and batting collapses, struggled to make it to the playoffs.
