The buzz around the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) team for the upcoming IPL 2024 season has been nothing short of electrifying. With a hefty purse of INR 34 crore at its disposal during the auction, SRH had its sights set on revitalizing its squad and addressing key areas of improvement following a lackluster performance in the previous season.
In a dramatic turn of events, SRH made headlines by securing the services of Australian cricketing sensation, Pat Cummins, for a staggering INR 20.5 crore, making it the second-biggest buy in IPL history. This move was a testament to SRH’s commitment to bolstering their bowling attack with world-class talent.

The departure of David Warner had left a void at the top of the batting order, prompting SRH to hunt for a reliable overseas opener. They struck gold with Travis Head, acquiring him for INR 6.8 crore, providing much-needed stability and firepower to their batting lineup.
Furthermore, the absence of a match-winning leg-spinner following Rashid Khan’s exit prompted SRH to secure the services of Wanindu Hasaranga for a mere INR 1.5 crore, addressing a critical gap in their bowling arsenal.
SRH also focused on strengthening their Indian contingent, adding seasoned campaigner Jaydev Unadkat to their ranks for INR 1.6 crore. They also made shrewd investments in promising uncapped players like Akash Singh and Jhatavedh Subramaniam, both acquired for their base price of INR 20 lakh.
Heading into the auction, SRH aimed to fill six vacant slots while retaining 19 players from the previous season. They made a significant trade by acquiring Shahbaz Ahmed from Royal Challengers Bangalore, further bolstering their all-round capabilities.
The final squad boasts a formidable lineup of both Indian and overseas talent, with the likes of Pat Cummins, Mayank Agarwal, Washington Sundar, and Bhuvneshwar Kumar leading the charge. With a perfect blend of experience and youth, SRH is poised to turn its fortunes around in the upcoming IPL season.
