IPL 2025: 3 Top signings by Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH)

Led by Pat Cummins, Sunrisers Hyderabad ended their season with a league stage finish. The IPL 2024 runners-up had a nightmarish season in IPL 2025 as they failed to create a significant impact at home and away.

While Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, and Heinrich Klaasen were exceptional in the previous season, they were a bit inconsistent this season. Moreover, bowlers like Mohammed Shami failed to live up to expectations.

While they had some notable players who failed to create an impact, some other players had an exceptional season despite the team’s poor performance. On that note, let’s take a look at the three top signings by the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) franchise at the IPL 2025 Mega Auction.
