Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) had a good IPL 2025 mega auction and compiled a very strong squad. They retained Heinrich Klaasen ( ₹23 crore), Pat Cummins ( ₹18 crore), Abhishek Sharma ( ₹14 crore), Travis Head ( ₹14 crore) and Nitish Kumar Reddy ( ₹6 crore) while they roped in quality players like Mohammed Shami, Ishan Kishan, Harshal Patel, and Rahul Chahar during the auction. The squad looks balanced and seems to have all bases covered. SRH had a tremendous season last year as they reached the final but suffered a defeat to Kolkata Kight Riders (KKR). SRH haven't won an IPL since 2016 when David Warner led them to a win, but the team looks good enough to go the distance with the current set of players. Let's look at the strongest XI for SRH in IPL 2025.

Strongest SRH XI For IPL 2025
Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma will form a formidable opening pair. The players were instrumental in SRH’s run to the final last year and the franchise would hope they repeat the heroics in IPL 2025 as well. SRH roped in Ishan Kishan for 11.25 crore and he’d be slotted in at three. At fourth, it will be the destructive Heinrich Klaasen, with Nitish Reddy and Abhinav Manohar to follow. The bowling will rest on the shoulders of Pat Cummins, Mohammed Shami, Harshal Patel, and Rahul Chahar. SRH could also slot in Kamindu Mendis in the XI who will give them an extra bowling option.
