The franchise has a sum of 68 crores remaining after the retentions. David Warner, Jonny Bairstow, Manish Pandey and Wriddhiman Saha are some of the key names released by the franchise ahead of the IPL 2022 auctions.

Sunrisers Hyderabad CEO K Shanmugam, on Star Sports, spoke about trying to buy back Rashid Khan in the upcoming auctions.

“It’s a difficult decision but if a player wants to be in the auction because of the price, we definitely respect the decision. We will try and match him in (terms of) the price and see if we can pick him up in the auction”.

Rashid has taken more than 400 T20 wickets since his debut, the most by any bowler since his T20I debut. He is a household name in franchise T20 cricket having played all over the world. He joined the team in 2017 and took the most number of wickets for the franchise in the meantime.
