IPL 2024 finalists Sunrisers Hyderabad have set the bar high when it comes to Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 Retention Day. SRH are prepared to offer a whopping Rs 23 crore to their number one pick in the Retentions – South African batter Heinrich Klaasen.

It was reported that Klaasen had been approached by a couple of franchises ahead of retention day, including Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), who wanted him to go into the auction. After discussions with Klaasen’s manager, SRH offered him a Rs 23 crore contract to retain him before the IPL 2025 mega auction.

Apart from Klaasen, SRH are also set to retain current skipper Pat Cummins from Australia at Rs 18 crore, down his current salary of Rs 20.75 crore. Their third retention is going to be young India opener Abhishek Sharma for Rs 14 crore. Abhishek scored 484 runs in 16 matches in IPL 2024 at a strike-rate of 204.22 with three fifties.

There is also speculation that SRH could retain Australian opener Travis Head and India all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy – both capped players. SRH will lose a massive chunk of their Rs 120 crore if they go ahead with this plan but will retain the major crux of their side.

Here is full list of retained players by Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) –

S.NO. NAME Country PRICE
1. Heinrich Klaasen (Capped) South Africa Rs 23 crore
2. Pat Cummins (Capped) Australia Rs 18 crore
3. Abhishek Sharma (Capped) India Rs 14 crore
