An important part ahead of any IPL Mega Auction is the retentions. And with IPL Retentions looming over, franchises are making a last-minute dash to secure the players they need to build a squad for the upcoming IPL 2025 Mega Auction.

Heinrich Klaasen

Heinrich Klaasen bulldozed bowlers in IPL 2024, caring less about their reputation or class, which enabled SRH to go out attacking in their batting approach. The wicketkeeper-batter provides stability to the lineup and can play the role of pinch hitter, adding more flexibility.

Pat Cummins

Pat Cummins permitted players to exercise freedom, bringing fresh air into the SRH ecosystem. Apart from his impeccable bowling show, Cummins backed his players, established or not, and made them into superstars. RCB Retentions For IPL 2025: List of Players Royal Challengers Bengaluru Can Likely Retain Ahead of Indian Premier League Mega Auction.

Abhishek Sharma

A future star, Abhishek Sharma embraced the SRH attacking philosophy and ran-sacked bowlers last season. Off-late Sharma developed his bowling, which added to his skillset, making him a multi-utility player, that can come in handy during tense moments.

Travis Head

Known for his textbook batting, Travis Head displayed a different side of him in IPL 2024, which changed the course for SRH. Head's ability to access any situation helps the power-hungry batting lineup, which SRH might go for in the IPL 2025 Mega Auction.

Nitish Kumar Reddy

An all-rounder's worth is in gold in T20 cricket, something that Nitish Kumar Reddy proved in IPL 2024 for Sunrisers Hyderabad. Reddy's explosive batting and medium-pace bowling could turn him into an asset that could put the player on par with Hardik Pandya moving forward in the IPL.
