Less than one week to go before finalising the player retention list. Sunrisers Hyderabad had lots of excited talents in their previous year’s squad. But they yet to meet their glory days. According to BCCI rules for the IPL 2025, every IPL franchise has to retain only six players from their previous year’s squad. Sunrisers Hyderabad is one of the title contenders of previous seasons Indian Premier League. So, which crickets are they going to retain?
Recently, Tom Moody has shared his own thoughts about SRH probable retaintions for the IPL 2025. The video of Moody has gone viral among SRH fans already. According to the now cricket expert, SRH should go for Pat Cummins, Travis Head, Abishek Sharma, Heinrich Klassen, Nitish Kumar Reddy, and Abdul Samad.
Sharman and Nitish Reddy recently got their chance to prove their talents at international level as they made their debut for Team India in a limited overa format against Bangladesh. Reddy, mainly a batsman who can bowl a few overs, has played a crucial role for his national team. On the other hand, Abishek Sharma, who has made his name in domestic format, has to prove himself for men in blue brigade.
Not need to say a word about Pat Cummins, who already cemented his name in the history book of Cricket Australia and in World Cricket. Cummins proved his and his team’s dominance in the limited overs cricket. After a stint with Kolkata Knight Riders, Cummins played for SRH in the previous year’s IPL. His ability to lead a team, along with his bowling abilities, can be proven effective for any team.

Samad continued to develop his role as a finisher. His ability to hit sixes under pressure made him a valuable asset for SRH, and he’s frequently been used in high-stakes situations where his powerful shots could change the course of the game. As one of the few cricketers from Jammu and Kashmir to play in the IPL, Samad has gained a fan following for his fearless approach and is seen as a promising talent for Indian cricket.
Heinrich Klaasen, the South African wicketkeeper-batsman, has made a significant impact in the Indian Premier League (IPL) with his performances for Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). A highlight of Klaasen’s IPL career came when he scored a remarkable 80 runs off 34 balls, contributing to SRH’s record-breaking total of 277 runs against Mumbai Indians in March 2024.
