IPL 2024: Sunrisers Hyderabad Retained and Released Players

Sunrisers Hyderabad is one of the most consistent teams in the Indian Premier League. Having won the title in 2016 and reached the playoffs 6 times in nine seasons.

The franchise, based in Hyderabad, is known for its strong bowling unit and explosive batting line-up. SRH is led by South African star Aiden Markram, who replaced David Warner as the captain in 2023.

Ahead of the IPL 2024 auction, SRH retained 19 players and released 6 players from their squad. SRH has a purse of INR 34 crores and can buy up to 6 players, including 3 overseas, in the auction.

Let us look at the reasons behind SRH’s Retained and Released players to the IPL 2024.

Why SRH Retain 19 Players to the IPL 2024?

Bhuvneshwar Kumar

Bhuvneshwar Kumar is one of the most experienced and skillful bowlers in the IPL, having won the Purple Cap twice. The right-arm pacer is the leading wicket-taker for SRH with 144 wickets in 126 matches.

He is also a handy lower-order batsman and a reliable death-overs specialist. SRH retained him for INR 4.20 crores, which is a bargain considering his value and impact.

Glenn Phillips

Glenn Phillips is a dynamic wicket-keeper batsman from New Zealand, who made his IPL debut for SRH in 2023. He impressed with his aggressive stroke play and smart glovework. Phillips scored 312 runs in 10 matches at a strike rate of 149.28.

He also hit the fastest 50s in IPL history, off just 17 balls, against Delhi Capitals. SRH retained him for INR 1.50 crores, which is a steal for a player of his caliber and potential.

Adil Rashid

Adil Rashid is a world-class leg-spinner from England, who also joined SRH in 2023. He was one of the most economical and effective spinners in the tournament. Rashid took 16 wickets in 14 matches at an average of 21.50 and an economy rate of 6.56.

He also scored some useful runs down the order, with a highest score of 31 not out. SRH retained him for INR 4.20 crores, which is a fair price for a match-winner like him.

These are some of the reasons why Sunrisers Hyderabad retained 19 players in the team.

SRH retained 19 players for IPL 2024, which shows their faith and confidence in their core group. The team has a balanced and versatile squad, with players who can perform in different roles and situations.

Why SRH Release 6 Players to the IPL 2024?

SRH has some gaps and weaknesses to address, and some players did not fit into their plans and strategies.

Some of the possible reasons for releasing these players are:

Adil Rashid

The England spinner was released by SRH as they wanted to give more chances to other spinners who could contribute more consistently than him in IPL matches.

Rashid had a poor season last year, taking only nine wickets at an economy rate of 8.33 but also conceding runs at regular intervals. He also failed to impress with his variations and accuracy.

Akeal Hosein

The South African all-rounder was released by SRH as they wanted to make room for other players in their squad who could perform better than him in IPL conditions.

Hosein had a disappointing season last year, scoring only 173 runs at an average of 23.00 and a strike rate of 115. He also struggled with his batting form and bowling performance.

Harry Brook

The England opener was released by SRH as they wanted to make room for other players in their squad who could perform better than him in IPL conditions.

Brook had a disappointing season last year, scoring only one fifty at an average of 23.00 and a strike rate of 115. He also struggled against spinners and pace bowlers alike.

Kartik Tyagi

The left-arm pacer from India was released by SRH as they wanted to make room for other pacers who could perform better than him in IPL conditions.

Tyagi had an inconsistent season last year, taking only nine wickets at an economy rate of 8 and conceding runs at regular intervals. He also failed to bowl well in death overs and lacked penetration.

Samarth Vyas

The left-arm spinner from India was released by SRH as they wanted to give more opportunities to other spinners who could showcase their skills in IPL conditions.

Vyas had a poor season last year, taking only six wickets at an economy rate of 9 and conceding runs at regular intervals. He also failed to impress with his variations and accuracy.

Vivrant Sharma

The right-arm fast bowler from India was released by SRH as they wanted to give more chances to other fast bowlers who could contribute more consistently than him in IPL matches.

Sharma had a mediocre season last year, taking only seven wickets at an economy rate of 7.14 and playing some useful overs with his medium pace.

RCB Retained Players IPL 2024

IPL 2024: Royal Challengers Bangalore Retained and Released Players

Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) is one of the most popular and successful teams in the Indian Premier League (IPL). They have reached the final three times, but have never won the trophy.

RCB has a strong batting line-up, featuring some of the best players in the world, such as Kohli, du Plessis, Glenn Maxwell, and Cameron Green. They also have a potent bowling attack, spearheaded by Mohammed Siraj, Reece Topley, and Akash Deep.

Ahead of the IPL 2024 auction, RCB has retained 18 players and released 11 players from their squad. They have also traded two players with other teams.

Let us look at the reasons behind RCB’s Retained and Released players to the IPL 2024.

Why did RCB Retain 18 players to the IPL 2024?

Royal Challengers Bangalore wanted to keep their core group intact and build on their success. And have a strong and balanced squad that can adapt to any conditions.

Some of the key players that Royal Challengers Bangalore retained are:

Virat Kohli

Kohli is one of the greatest batsmen of all time, and the leading run-scorer in IPL history. He has been with RCB since 2008 and is their most loyal and iconic player. He scored 523 runs in 15 matches in IPL 2023, at an average of 40.23 and a strike rate of 139.78.

Faf du Plessis

Faf du Plessis is the captain of RCB and a world-class batsman in all formats. He joined RCB in 2022 and led them to the playoffs in his first season as skipper. Plessis scored 548 runs in 15 matches in IPL 2023, at an average of 45.66 and a strike rate of 144.21. He also took 10 catches in the field, the most by any non-wicketkeeper in the tournament.

Mohammed Siraj

Mohammed Siraj is the leading fast bowler of RCB and one of the best in the country. He has improved tremendously in the last few years. And has become a regular member of the Indian team in all formats. He took 19 wickets in 15 matches in IPL 2023, at an average of 22.36 and an economy rate of 7.68. He also bowled the most dot balls in the tournament, with 156.

These are some of the reasons why Royal Challengers Bangalore retained 18 players in the team.

RCB have retained 18 players for the IPL 2024, which shows their confidence and stability in their squad. They have a balanced and experienced team, with players who have performed well in the previous seasons.

  • They have a strong and versatile batting line-up, with players who can bat at different positions and roles.
  • They have players like Rajat Patidar, Dinesh Karthik, Will Jacks, and Mahipal Lomror, who can provide depth and firepower to the batting order.
  • They have a potent and varied bowling attack, with players who can bowl at different phases and situations.
  • They have players like Reece Topley, Karn Sharma, Manoj Bhandage, and Himanshu Sharma, who can offer different options and variations to the bowling unit.
  • They have a good mix of youth and experience, with players who have been with the team for a long time, and players who have joined recently.
  • They have players like Kohli, du Plessis, Karthik, and Maxwell, who are seasoned veterans and leaders, and players like Patidar, Rawat, Prabhudessai, and Vijaykumar, who are young and promising talents.
  • They have a good rapport and chemistry among the players, who have gelled well as a team and have supported each other.
  • They have players who have played together for a long time, and players who have adapted well to the team culture and environment.

Why did RCB trade for Cameron Green from Mumbai Indians?

Cameron Green is one of the most exciting and talented all-rounders in the world. RCB has traded him from Mumbai Indians ahead of the IPL 2024 auction. Green joined MI for a whopping Rs 17.5 crore at the auction last December but did not get many opportunities to play. He featured in only six matches, scoring 112 runs and taking two wickets.

The reason behind this trade is that RCB wanted to add more depth and balance to their squad, and Green is a perfect fit for their requirements. He is a hard-hitting and versatile batsman, who can bat anywhere in the order and play according to the situation.

N. Jagadeesan
