Hard-hitting opening batter who is in the form of his life in 2025 would want to carry it in the next season of the IPL while playing for the Sunrisers Hyderabad, as the left-hander is difficult to stop if he gets going.

Abhishek has the ability to take the game away from the opposition in a few balls by creating pressure on the bowlers through his attacking style of play in the first six overs.

If Abhishek is able to get his act together early in the tournament next year, that will increase SRH's chances of qualifying for the playoffs.

Travis Head

Like Abhishek, his opening partner, Travis Head, is also in good form and would hope to build on it in the 19th edition of the Indian Premier League while playing for the former champions.

Both SRH options complement each other while batting at the top of the order, and bowlers are left with no options when they are in form, and that's exactly what SRH would hope for come the next season.

Pat Cummins

ODI World Cup-winning captain Pat Cummins did a fine job as the captain of SRH in 2024, but wasn't able to replicate the same last year, and would aim to make good use of resources in IPL 2026.

One of the challenges for Pat Cummins would be to identify the best combination according to the conditions early in the season in the batting and bowling departments, which he struggled to do in the previous edition.

Heinrich Klaasen

One of the reasons for SRH's below-par performance last season was the form, or the lack of it, of Heinrich Klaasen, considering that he was an integral part of an inexperienced middle order.

Having said that, the wicketkeeper batter wasn't given. consistent run at a particular position in comparison to the 2024 season, where he took on the spinners in the middle phase of SRH's batting innings, and would hope for more clarity in 2026.

Performance of Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL

SRH would want to get its mojo back in the upcoming season, as the team had earned the reputation of qualifying for the playoffs every season from 2013 to 2020 and was in touching distance of being crowned as the champion in 2024.
