SRH Squad 2027
Sunrisers Hyderabad have 26 players on their list going into the IPL 2027 retention deadline on 17 November 2026, 8 of them from overseas, after they brought in Khaleel Ahmed (from CSK), Nathan Ellis (from CSK) and T. Natarajan (from DC) and sent Liam Livingstone (to CSK), Jack Edwards (to CSK) and Zeeshan Ansari (to DC) the other way. Heinrich Klaasen is their most expensive player at ₹23 Cr. Whoever SRH release by the deadline goes back into the mini auction on 16 December 2026.
The list counts every player SRH used in IPL 2026, including mid-season replacements, plus players traded in for 2027, so it can run above the 25-player and 8-overseas caps. SRH must get back under both when they submit retentions on 17 November 2026.
