Who Will SRH Buy in IPL 2026 Auction? Top Targets Sunrisers Hyderabad Could Bid Big On This Season

With ₹25.50 crore left, SRH have one of the largest budgets, allowing them to chase premium names and plug crucial gaps across batting, pace, spin, and middle-order depth.

SRH are expected to push hard for Cameron Green, whose power-hitting and seam-bowling make him a perfect all-round upgrade and a long-term middle-order pillar alongside Travis Head.

After trading Mohammed Shami, SRH need a strike pacer. Anrich Nortje, fresh from recovery and red-hot in the CSA T20 Challenge, perfectly fits their need for raw pace and death-overs impact.

Even though past his peak, Andre Russell brings unmatched finishing firepower. SRH may consider him to strengthen late-overs hitting and add multi-phase bowling depth.

With both Rahul Chahar and Adam Zampa released, SRH could eye Wanindu Hasaranga for elite leg-spin, wicket-taking ability, and an aggressive lower-order presence.

SRH need an Indian finisher. R Sanjay Yadav, after a strong TNPL season, offers clean hitting plus left-arm spin—making him a cost-effective and strategic Indian middle-order reinforcement.

SRH require a stable Indian opener. Mayank Agarwal, fresh from an improved strike rate and strong 2025 season, provides experience, flexibility, and a budget-friendly top-order option.

To avoid over-reliance on Cummins or Unadkat, SRH may bid for Mohit Sharma, Akash Deep, Kuldeep Sen, or Darshan Nalkande to solidify their domestic seam attack.

SRH’s top-heavy batting needs stability at No.4–5. Venkatesh Iyer or Mahipal Lomror offer proven hitting, IPL experience, and affordability—perfect for strengthening the collapsible middle-order.

To support frontline spinners Harsh Dubey and Zeeshan Ansari, SRH could target Karn Sharma or Vignesh Puthur, ensuring depth in slow conditions without overspending.
