Discover the top overseas players of Sunrisers Hyderabad for IPL 2025! The runner-ups from the Indian Premier League 2024 had a decent side retained ahead of the Mega Auctions. They had their openers, captain, and a middle-order power hitter settled. They only had to fill in the gaps, which they managed to do.
With the auction now over, the team management will look to decide their playing combination. A key aspect of that will be the overseas players. The 2016 champions will have to decide on the four overseas players that will take the field on match days.
Sunrisers Hyderabad’s four overseas players for their Playing XI
1. Pat Cummins
The team captain, Pat Cummins, is sure to fill one of the four available slots in the playing XI. He did an extraordinary job with the team last season to guide them to the final for the first time since 2016. In only his first year, he did wonders for the Orange Army. The bowling-all rounder will be one to watch for in the tournament.
2. Heinrich Klaasen
The South African batter, Heinrich Klaasen, was given a massive sum of 23 crores to be retained by Sunrisers Hyderabad. They will want him to deliver every time he steps in to bat for the team. Last season, he scored 479 runs in 16 matches with a strike rate of 170. The team leadership will expect him to go all out this time as well.
3. Travis Head
The powerful Australian batter will once again take the responsibility to open the innings along with Abhishek Sharma. The duo’s explosive starts were one of the main reasons for the team’s success last time. He scored 772 runs at a strike rate of close to 175. This included a century and five half centuries.
4. Adam Zampa
Adam Zampa has not had much game time in the IPL in the last few seasons but can be a mainstay in the SRH team this time around. He could potentially lead the spin bowling attack for the team. He would especially be useful in venues like Chennai and Lucknow.
