Runners-up in 2024, SRH aims to bolster their squad in the 2025 IPL auction, scheduled for November 24-25 in Jeddah. Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) debuted in 2013 and claimed their maiden IPL title in 2016.

SRH RTM card in IPL 2025 mega auction
Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) have one remaining RTM card for the IPL 2025 auction. However, they can only use it to acquire an uncapped player, as all five of their retained players are capped.
SRH potential buys
Mohammed Siraj, Mohammed Shami, and Yuzvendra Chahal could be among SRH’s potential targets in the auction. The team currently lacks an Indian pacer and a quality spinner, making it crucial for them to focus on acquiring skilled bowlers to strengthen their bowling unit.
