In the recently concluded IPL 2024, the one-time champion team Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) team performed brilliantly. Hyderabad had to face defeat against Kolkata in the final match. However, the performance of the team during the entire tournament was unmatched.

However, now the player auction is going to be held for the upcoming season of IPL. All the 10 teams will get a chance to retain only a few players. In such a situation, it will have to be seen which team is going to retain which players.

On the other hand, well-known cricket commentator and former Indian player Aakash Chopra has made a big statement about the Hyderabad team before the start of IPL 2025. According to Chopra, Hyderabad should retain these players.

Aakash Chopra gave a big statement

Let us tell you that through a video uploaded on his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra said – It is absolutely necessary to retain Pat Cummins because there are 10 teams in IPL and you do not get any captain.

You have to shop around for a captain and there aren’t a lot of Indian names available, but it will be interesting to see if you can convince him to stay with the team for three years.

After this I would keep Abhishek Sharma, because you will not find Indian talent like Abhishek. Retention of Indian players is going to be important, because you will not get a chance to select such players.

As the third player, I would like to retain Travis Head, but my third player can also be Heinrich Klaasen. Because for the position where Travis Head bats, you can take other players. But the position where Heinrich Klaasen bats, there are only Nicholas Pooran, Andre Russell and Heinrich Klaasen.

So, I would like to retain Heinrich Klaasen. As the fourth player, I would go with either Bhuvneshwar Kumar or T Natarajan.
