Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) is gearing up for the upcoming mega auction on Tuesday, December 16. The franchise is going to the auction with a tranquil and very well-prepared attitude, prioritising visibility over swift decisions. The management of SRH will be applying a distinctive approach wherein their primary goal will be to recruit players that will seamlessly blend into the existing team rather than making changes that will not be necessary.
SRH has kept mainly their important players who have been the base of the team’s success in the last few seasons, and they will get new ones at the auction. The plan will be to bring in smart backup options and fix up a few specific areas in the squad, while largely keeping the balance and stability that have been the recipe for the team’s success.
