We’re focusing on one thing at a time; starting with a solid performance in the first 6 overs and building from there. Our home record has been decent. Playing with home support always makes a difference, and we would have preferred that.
However, away games have their merits too. We’re familiar with the conditions and how they play out. Right now, our entire focus is on today’s game.”

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.
