At the start of the Indian Premier League 2026, the Sunrisers Hyderabad did not look that busy, but by the end, the SRH squad 2026 is complete with some big names being added to their 25-member squad for the upcoming 19th edition of the Indian Premier League, which starts in March. The exact starting date for the 2026 Indian Premier League is the 26th of March 2026, and the ending date is the 31st of May 2026.
The previous edition of the Indian Premier League was not a good season for the Sunrisers Hyderabad as they ended their campaign in 6th position on the points table and missed a place in the playoffs. One thing is for sure, whenever they came to play the match was surely one of the entertaining as well as a high scoring match. It was all because of the power hitting of Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head at the start of the innings.

The most eye-catching moment in the 2026 Indian Premier League came for the Sunrisers Hyderabad when they grabbed Liam Livingstone for an unexpected ₹13 crore. In the first round, Liam Livingstone went unsold but was later again called by the franchise, and the Sunrisers Hyderabad had the upper hand in bringing the English all-rounder to their team, and what an addition it has been to their starting eleven.
Just imagine, Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head opening the innings, then you have Ishan Kishan at number three, Heinrich Klaasen at number four, and here comes Liam Livingstone coming at five or maybe six, however, the situation of the day might be. Not to forget, they also have Nitish Kumar Reddy, who himself can bat anywhere and needs to play as a glue to this batting line-up of the Sunrisers Hyderabad.
They have also purchased the Australian all-rounder, Jack Edwards, for ₹3 crore. It was Shivam Mavi, an experienced bowler in the IPL, that the Sunrisers purchased in the auction. When we look at their bowling line-up, then surely there are a lot of match-winners there as well. Sunrisers Hyderabad have Pat Cummins, Eshan Malinga, Harshal Patel, and Jaydev Unadkat, who might be the first names the coach chooses to start.
