IPL 2020: List Of All Sunrisers Hyderabad Players And Their Salaries

Ahead of a new season of Indian Premier League (IPL), Sunrisers Hyderabad is one of those teams, who had a balanced squad even before entering the IPL Auction 2020 for players. They released five players this year, including two foreign players, namely Martin Guptill and Shakib Al Hasan.

In the batting department, Sunrisers have David Warner, Jonny Bairstow, and Kane Williamson at the top. The bowling attack is equally as adept, with Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Rashid Khan, Mohammad Nabi, and Khaleel Ahmad highlighting their prowess.

The Hyderabad-based franchise had to plug in a few gaps here and there, which is why they put their faith in five uncapped Indian players and signed just two foreign players in the IPL auction 2020.

Mitchell Marsh and Fabian Allen arrived for their respective base prices and the Orange Army still have INR 10.10 crores left in their purse.
