The Indian Premier League is all set to start on the 31st of March and 2016 champions Sunrisers Hyderabad will look to get the season underway in the best way possible as they go through a paradigm shift after releasing former captain and New Zealand star batsman Kane Williamson.
The Hyderabad-based side broke the bank for English batsman Harry Brook as they shelled out a massive Rupees 13.25 Crores on the overseas recruit. They also managed to rope in former Punjab Kings captain Mayank Agrawal for a big sum of Rupees 8.5 Crores, beating the batsman’s former team to his signing.
The Sun Network-owned team retained the services of Indian bowlers such as Buvneshwar Kuamr, T Natarajan, Umram Malik, and Karthik Thyagi in addition to batsmen Rahul Tripathi and Abdul Samad, while also holding on to all-rounders Washington Sundar and Abhishek Sharma.
South African batter Aiden Markram’s name also featured on the list of players retained alongside compatriot Marco Jansen. New Zealand wicketkeeper-batsman Glenn Phillips and Afghani bowler Fazalhaq Farooqi also made the cut.
Their other foreign recruits for the upcoming season include South African batsman Heinrich Klassen, English bowler Adil Rashid and West Indies bowler Akeal Hosain.
They also added domestic bowlers such as Mayank Markande, Mayank Dagar and all-rounders Samarth Vyas, Vivranth Saharma, Sanvir Singh, Nitish Kumar Reddy and Anmolpreet Singh. Indian batter Upendra Singh Yadav was also picked up at the mini-auction.
