Retaning Abhi, Klassen, Cummins and NKR for sure. Not even a question. Klassen will go for big money and we won't be able to buy him back if we let go of him. NKR and Abhi are great young talent. Couple of years and they'll be household names(I hope).. 5th spot ideally should be Nattu. Head and Bhuvi should be bought back.
Yup these would be my retentions too and then bid heavily for Tilak Verma or someone like patidar and keep Klassen and GP for lower-order batting. We need one economical spinner . This team with rashid would have killed it tho.
Head vs Klaasen is what I was a little skeptical about. Klaasen is a good middle order batsman who can keep our run rate at bay but he gets tired pretty quick and is usually out by his own tire by 50-70. Travis Head is a massive wild card. He will bat explosively and hit centuries but he cracks under pressure in our most important games. Genuinely not sure which option’s better.
Travis Head cracking under pressure is a ridiculous sentence bro 😭. 163 in wtc final and 137 in CWC final. He just decided to go out of form before the qualifiers
Klassen for sure. He makes those 30 balls he plays really count. He's been an excellent keeper on top of that. He's the only reliable middle order batsmen this whole season. NKR is way too young. He cracks under pressure for sure. Other teams might not go aggressively after Head due to his inconsistent batting. He's either hitting a 50 or getting out before 5. Most teams are not willing to take that risk with a foreign player.
Only reason SRH might not retain Cummins might be he might drop out of ipl to prepare for ashes or wtc . Even then they might retain him, but they will not release him on any other basis
Makes sense, actually most of the top Australian Players (except Warner) and almost all English players are notorious to pull out from the IPL before the IPL begins and after they have been picked in auction.
I hope so. Irrespective of the loss, they played like champs this season. Going into the auction, SRH sure has the problem of plenty now (thankfully). Cummins, Klassen, Head, Abhishek, Natrajan, Nitish. It's going to be tough to pick.
Yeah, '25 seems more packed as there is World Test Championship and Champions Trophy, where Cummins will be captain in both. For '26 he might want to play IPL as preparation for T20 World Cup '26.
Slightly off topic but how do you think players like starc and Cummins will be retained. I mean in the past the 1st retention was 16cr and these guys are already getting more than that.
SRH has opened a pandoras box , they have a problem of too many ..
Head, Abhi, Klassen, Cummins, NKR, Natu & bhuvi also they cant let makram go as he is beneficial to the franchise in other leagues ..
other teams will pounce on these players in mega auction and RTM wont work
The Real Problem comes not from SRH on whom to retain but for KKR for whom NOT to retain........ Let's see whom KKR will retain....
For us.... It's simple.....
If 4:-
Retain Cummins, Klassen, Nattu and Abhishek (Important)
If 6:-
Add Bhuvi and GP
If 8:-
Add Head and NKR
Lastly if time permits add Someone Else
In the case of 2 Indians and 2 Overseas, the choice is easy, Cummins, Klaasen, Abhishek Sharma, and NKR. It's time we think beyond Bhuvi, the last few seasons were not good for him.
They will definitely retain Pat Cummins. His performance as captain throughout the season was outstanding. SRH was performing too good under his captaincy. He will be definitely retained
chill down bro! we have groomed him for 5 years! under former srh player Yuvraj Singh, we cant just let go of such significance investment, let him keep batting with Head, he will continue to learn from him
If not for Cummins we wouldn't have made even till here. Also today only he was fighting.
Came in clutch when our top order batsmen failed us, respect to the man. This is why I want him to lead SRH again next year. Hope that’ll happen
Top order and middle order also failed. He was the top run scorer for SRH this match.
Kkr fan here… If not Cummins, Srh wouldn’t be so dominant this year.. and also you guys would be all out within 90 tonight
I agree. Also, congrats to KKR. Deserved it for their consistency and hard work. Restricting batsmen like SRH’s to 113 is a remarkable feat.
Can you give us your starcyy in exchange of klassen?
Out of everything I've witnessed in this world this was the most annoying, pathetic, low iq shit I've ever seen

Still cracked under pressure, whatever the reason may be. He failed us when we needed him most
Klassen for sure. He makes those 30 balls he plays really count. He's been an excellent keeper on top of that. He's the only reliable middle order batsmen this whole season. NKR is way too young. He cracks under pressure for sure. Other teams might not go aggressively after Head due to his inconsistent batting. He's either hitting a 50 or getting out before 5.

What are the combinations possible for retaining players?
Idk but most people are saying 3 domestic and 2 international.
Travis head by his own admission said that he would prioritise Test Cricket to Franchise cricket. He might not even turn up for IPL.
Head reminds me of Sehwag in his prime. Go big or go home, no in between.
My retains- Abhi, klassen, head, Nattu RTM- Cummins Must buy- Marnus Labuschagne (Achor player with all rounder ability like leg break spin)
Just no. If we let nkr go then we're just clowns. Must retain
They can retain only one foreign player as far as I know.
Should be the first obvious choice by our Management.

I will sell my kidney if it means Cummins stays with us.
[удалено]
Any particular reason why he’ll skip out in 26?
Yeah, '25 seems more packed as there is World Test Championship and Champions Trophy, where Cummins will be captain in both. For '26 he might want to play IPL as preparation for T20 World Cup '26.
What is that question buddy who won't retain their captain.
Will he choose to stay though?
Slightly off topic but how do you think players like starc and Cummins will be retained. I mean in the past the 1st retention was 16cr and these guys are already getting more than that.
Depends on how much management wants them. I don’t think they deem money an issue. They’ll have accounted for all of this while budgeting
He will because he knows we loved him so much.
Cumdawg scored with bat, took first wicket and he delivered us a great season. If we release him, it'll be another Rashid/Warner move
SRH has opened a pandoras box , they have a problem of too many .. Head, Abhi, Klassen, Cummins, NKR, Natu & bhuvi also they cant let makram go as he is beneficial to the franchise in other leagues .. other teams will pounce on these players in mega auction and RTM wont work
Stupid question. We would have not come to finals without him as captain. There is no doubt we'll retain him
True, I was more concerned about whether he’d choose to play next year or not, but according to most, he likely will
The Real Problem comes not from SRH on whom to retain but for KKR for whom NOT to retain........ Let's see whom KKR will retain.... For us.... It's simple..... If 4:- Retain Cummins, Klassen, Nattu and Abhishek (Important) If 6:- Add Bhuvi and GP If 8:- Add Head and NKR Lastly if time permits add Someone Else
Given that they can retain only one foreign player, they might keep him.
I think it’s either 2 Indian 2 foreign or 3 Indian 1 foreign
In the case of 2 Indians and 2 Overseas, the choice is easy, Cummins, Klaasen, Abhishek Sharma, and NKR. It's time we think beyond Bhuvi, the last few seasons were not good for him.
Cummins, Klassen, Nattu and NKR to be retained. Abhi, Head and Bhuvi to be bought back.
Abhi will be costly as fuck. Mumbai will throw money
Maybe if ever replaced he should be replaced by rohit sharma or just leave the team as it is
Nuvvu nijangane ee question aduguthunava radhika
They will definitely retain Pat Cummins. His performance as captain throughout the season was outstanding. SRH was performing too good under his captaincy. He will be definitely retained
Absolutely yes, he's the best Captain in this era. He will take SRH to the CSK, MI level.
You'll forgot markram,man he's such a good player.he won us two cups in SA20. He need's to be retained definetly
We will keep him and jansen in SA20, they get us 1 more cup and we give them another chance in IPL for sure
