IPL 2016 champions SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) stunned last IPL season by setting a powerful batting example, which they produced majorly in that entire tournament. They were very close to winning the IPL 2024 title but finished as the runners-up after suffering a thrashing IPL 2024 final defeat against Kolkata Knight Riders.
SRH started the IPL 2025 mega auction with the purse remaining for INR 45 crore. Before the auction, SRH retained five capped players, which deducted INR 75 crore from the purse.
In the mega auction, Indian cricketers Ishan Kishan and Mohammad Shami earned bids of INR 10 crore or over.
