Sunrisers Hyderabad made some significant purchases during the IPL 2026 mini-auction, with the most notable being the acquisition of England all-rounder Liam Livingstone for INR 13 crore. Livingstone, who initially went unsold at his base price of INR 2 crore, attracted a bidding war between SRH and Lucknow Super Giants, with SRH ultimately securing his services.
The team also invested in uncapped Indian players, including Salil Arora, Onkar Tarmale, Sakib Hussain, and Shivang Kumar, all acquired for INR 30 lakhs each. In total, SRH bought nine players at the auction, with Livingstone being their sole overseas purchase. The team retained key players like Pat Cummins, Abhishek Sharma, and Travis Head, while releasing others such as Adam Zampa and Rahul Chahar.
The full list of players purchased by SRH includes Shivang Kumar, Salil Arora, Onkar Tarmale, Sakib Hussain, and others. The team has a remaining purse of INR 5.45 crore and no player slots left to fill. SRH made strategic moves to strengthen their squad for the upcoming season while maintaining a balance between experienced players and promising young talent.
