IPL Auction 2023: 3 Australian Players That Sunrisers Hyderabad Can Target.  Sunrisers Hyderabad’s (SRH) IPL 2022 tournament was a replay of their performance in the IPL 2021. Though they managed to win 6 matches out of 14 and amassed 12 points, they still managed to finish in the 8th spot out of 10 teams.

One of the biggest reasons for a dismal season was New Zealand Kane Williamson, who just couldn’t get going throughout the tournament with a strike rate of under 100.

Kane Williamson, who struggled with an elbow issue, scored 216 runs in 13 innings at a disappointing average of 19 and an ever poorer strike rate of 93. Their biggest buy-in IPL 2022 auction was West Indies’ Nicholas Pooran for INR 10.75 crores, and then his teammate Romario Shepherd for INR 7.75 Crores.

The likes of Shashank Singh, Romario Shepherd, Nicholas Pooran, Shreyas Gopal, and Sean Abbott were released by SRH before IPL Auction 2023. The franchise has let go of its previous captain Kane Williamson who was its top retention at INR 14 crore ahead of the mega-auction last year.

The Orange Army has released 12 players which also includes the overseas trio of Romario Shepherd, Nicholas Pooran, and Sean Abbott. Uncapped Indians Jagadeesha Suchith, Priyam Garg, Ravikumar Samarth, Saurabh Dubey, Shashank Singh, Shreyas Gopal, Sushant Mishra, and Vishnu Vinod are the other releases.

Rahul Tripathi, Glenn Phillips, Abhishek Sharma, Aiden Markram, Abdul Samad, Washington Sundar, Marco Jansen, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Umran Malik, T Natarajan, Kartik Tyagi, Fazalhaq Farooqi were retained by the SRH franchise.

Sean Abbott, Riley Meredith, Jhye Richardson, Adam Zampa (INR 1.5 Crores), Nathan Coulter-Nile, Cameron Green, Travis Head, Chris Lynn (INR 2 Crores), Moises Henriques, Andrew Tye (INR 1 Crore) are some of the prominent Australian names to have registered themselves for IPL Auction 2023 and have put themselves in the highest base price bracket.

If there is a team in the Indian Premier League that currently needs a player of the quality of Cameron Green, it is none other than Sunrisers Hyderabad. The Orange Army let go of Mitchell Marsh ahead of IPL 2022 and failed to sign a quality replacement at the auction. Furthermore, Kane Williamson failed to uplift the team from the top in the absence of David Warner.

Cameron Green will add a ton of balance to Sunrisers Hyderabad as Kane Williamson could bat at number three to add solidity to the batting unit. Furthermore, Cameron Green’s pace bowling could be very effective on Hyderabad’s surface. In all probability, Sunrisers Hyderabad will go after the Aussie all-rounder in the IPL auction 2023.

Adam Zampa

Adam Zampa made his first appearance in the cash-rich league in 2016 when he was signed by the Rising Pune Super Giants. In 2020, Adam Zampa joined the Royal Challengers Bangalore. In 14 IPL matches, the 29-year-old has taken 21 wickets at an average of over 17 and an economy rate of under 8.

Adam Zampa Zampa ended the T20 World Cup 2022 tournament as the second-highest wicket-taker, with 13 wickets to his name. In all probability, Sunrisers Hyderabad will go after the Aussie leg spinner in the IPL auction 2023.

Travis Head has played for RCB previously in the IPL 2016 and 2017 seasons. Overall, he has played 10 matches scoring 205 runs at an average of 29.29 and s strike rate of 139.81.

The southpaw recently played as an opener for Australia in the ODI series against England that they won. Travis Head missed out on the 2022 T20 World Cup squad and can look to revive his T20 career with another good season with RCB. Travis Head registered himself for a base price of INR 2 crores ahead of the IPL auction 2023. He may be targeted by SRH in IPL auction 2023.
