Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) failed to produce the same form as 2024 in the IPL 2025 season. They even missed out on the qualification for the playoffs. Now the attention shifts to next season. In this article, we take a look at the SRH retention list IPL 2026 auction.
When Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) reached the IPL 2024 final but eventually lost to Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), everyone thought they would be back with vengeance.
