IPL Retention 2025: In preparation for the upcoming IPL 2025 season, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) has solidified its roster by retaining Australian powerhouse Travis Head and young Indian talent Nitish Kumar Reddy. These additions complete SRH’s quota of five capped retained players ahead of the 2025 IPL auction, anchoring a strong core lineup. Head and Reddy join the previously retained Heinrich Klaasen, Pat Cummins, and Abhishek Sharma, completing SRH’s capped player lineup with a total purse deduction of INR 75 crore from their INR 120 crore budget. Klaasen (retained for INR 23 crore), Cummins (INR 18 crore), Sharma (INR 14 crore), along with Head at INR 14 crore and Reddy at INR 6 crore, now form SRH's solid retained core for the upcoming season. Travis Head’s impressive record made him a crucial retention for SRH. In IPL 2024, he amassed 567 runs at a strike rate of 191.55, excelling as an explosive opener. Head has also made headlines in international cricket, scoring centuries against India in both the World Test Championship and the ODI World Cup finals in 2023. Head’s price, which has doubled since the IPL 2024 auction, reflects his rising value, as he likely would have attracted even higher bids had he entered the auction. Nitish Kumar Reddy, 21, saw a substantial increase in value from the INR 20 lakh he was initially bought for in 2023. Named Emerging Player of the Year in IPL 2024, Reddy showcased versatility by scoring 303 runs at a strike rate of 143 and taking three wickets with his seam bowling. His strong IPL showing earned him a call-up to India’s T20I squad for the Zimbabwe tour (missed due to injury), and he later debuted against Bangladesh in October. Under the leadership of Pat Cummins, SRH achieved a resurgence in IPL 2024, reaching the playoffs for the first time since 2020. With Cummins at the helm, and a core including Head, Klaasen, Reddy, and Sharma, SRH aims to replicate this momentum in 2025 under the guidance of head coach Daniel Vettori. Heinrich Klaasen: INR 23 crore Pat Cummins: INR 18 crore Abhishek Sharma: INR 14 crore Travis Head: INR 14 crore Nitish Kumar Reddy: INR 6 crore With a roster now containing five retained players, SRH has the option of using a right-to-match card to re-acquire one of their uncapped players during the IPL 2025 auction. This tactical flexibility could further strengthen their lineup as they approach the upcoming season. None
