IPL 2021: Full squad of Sunrisers Hyderabad after auction

IPL 2021 Auction: Sunriser Hyderabad only bought as handful of players at the auction, with Kedar Jadhav being the most expensive buy for ₹2 crore.

The David Warner-led Sunrisers Hyderabad got off to a poor start in the Indian Premier League 2020 edition, but later, found their footing, eventually finishing in the third position. The franchise did not release many players, keeping their core group intact, and at the 2021 auction, only decided to buy three players.

SRH were still able to make headlines after buying former Chennai Super Kings allrounder Kedar Jadhav at his base price of ₹2 crore. Jadhav had a forgettable season in the UAE - and when his name was initially called, no franchise raised their paddle.
