For IPL 2026, all the teams have to submit their retention lists by 15th November. The trade deals of top players like Sanju Samson and Ravindra Jadeja remain in the headlines. Meanwhile, Mumbai Indians have traded 2 international players in the form of Shardul Thakur and Sherfan Rutherford to LSG and Gujarat Titans respectively. Meanwhile, speculations about Mohammed Shami leaving SRH may have increased the problems for Kavya Maran as well. Let us know about those 3 players whom Sunrisers Hyderabad would not want to release even in their dreams.

1. Abhishek Sharma

Abhishek Sharma has been playing for Sunrisers Hyderabad since 2019. His stormy batting had helped Sunrisers Hyderabad a lot in reaching the final in 2024. In the last two seasons, Abhishek has been the second highest run scorer for SRH. Sunrisers Hyderabad franchise has invested in Abhishek for 7 years, the fruits of which have been seen in the last 2 seasons. If there was any other team, let alone SRH, they would not want to release this star batsman.

2. Travis Head

Travis Head joined Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2024. The opening pair of him and Abhishek Sharma have together scored 1864 runs in the last 2 years. The 2024 season did not go very well for Head, but in IPL 2024, he was the batsman who scored the most runs (567) for the SRH team. Head’s stormy style has proved effective in giving a good start to the Hyderabad team and his pairing with Abhishek has also made a huge contribution in changing the fortunes of the team.

3. Pat Cummins

Pat Cummins is the same player who has won 2 ICC trophies for Australia as captain. At the same time, his decisions on the field as a captain have proved to be unique and effective from time to time. Under his captaincy, SRH reached the final of the 2024 season. There is no doubt that Cummins is one of the best captains in the world at present. As a bowler, he has taken a total of 34 wickets for Sunrisers Hyderabad in the last 2 seasons.

But as soon as Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head started the Hyderabad innings, every ball was increasing Kavya’s happiness. In the end, when the team won, Kavya jumped happily and hugged Abhishek Sharma’s mother.

Abhishek Sharma has become the Indian batsman playing the biggest personal innings in IPL history. He scored 141 runs in 55 balls with the help of 10 sixes and 14 fours. This is also Abhishek’s first century of IPL.

IPL 2025: Lucknow Super Giants bowler Shardul Thakur gave a lot of relief to his team by dismissing two explosive batsmen from Sunrisers Hyderabad for 2 consecutive balls. He dismissed Abhishek Sharma on the first ball of the third over. Ishaan Kishan, who came at number three, was caught by Shardul behind the wicket on the next ball.

Shardul Thakur put the first over against Sunrisers Hyderabad, in this over, he conceded just 6 runs. In this over, he hit 5 balls to Travis Head, in which only one boundary came. After putting the first over, he took 2 wickets in the third over.

Shardul Thakur’s 2 wickets off 2 consecutive balls

2.1 over- Abhishek Sharma’s wicket: Shardul bowled a small length. Abhishek put a bridge shot towards the square boundary. Abhishek defeated at the speed and the ball did not get much distance. Nicholas Puran made no mistake in catching the catch.

2.2 overs- Ishaan Kishan’s wicket: Shardul put the ball down the leg, a light swing was also done. Ishaan wanted to flick but the ball went into the hands of Rishabh Pant, the batter of the bat. Pant did not appeal but the umpire accepted the bowler’s appeal and Ishaan also walked directly towards the pavilion.
