Sunrisers Hyderabad are poised to launch an explosive campaign in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, armed with a formidable and star-studded lineup meticulously curated from the IPL 2024 auction. Entering the bidding fray with an impressive war chest of INR 34 crore, the franchise strategically navigated the auction to secure the services of top-notch players. With only six slots remaining in their squad, Sunrisers made astute choices to bolster their team’s strength and versatility.
Notable retention, trades and releases of SRH
Before the IPL 2024 auction, Sunrisers strategically retained a blend of seasoned T20 campaigners and promising young talents. Amongst the retention list, seasoned campaigners like Heinrich Klaasen and Glenn Phillips, both recognized for their prowess in the game’s shortest format, found their names. Additionally, the franchise showed faith in emerging talents like Abhishek Sharma and Umran Malik, underscoring their commitment to nurturing youth.
In a shrewd move, the Hyderabad-based team engaged in a trade deal with Royal Challengers Bangalore to acquire the versatile all-rounder, Shahbaz Ahmed, adding depth and dynamism to their squad. The team bid farewell to notable players like Harry Brook and Adil Rashid to make room for fresh strategic acquisitions.
