Kavya Maran may release THIS star player from SRH before IPL 2026, he is a six-hitting sensation, his name is...
Sunrisers Hyderabad co-owner Kavya Maran might part ways with a rising star ahead of IPL 2026. Known for his explosive six-hitting, the young batter impressed in his debut season but could be released due to tactical changes. Aniket Verma was brilliant in his first season in the IPL where he scored 236 runs in 14 games with an average of over 27. His best performance was in his second game when he played a scorching 74 against Delhi Capitals in his third match. The capability to counter the spin bowling is one of the most remarkable features of Aniket. He was the quickest to hit 12 sixes in an IPL match as he did it in 66 balls. Sunrisers Hyderabad have taken a core-based approach on the auction, in the two preceding seasons. SRH has a core of players like Abhishek Sharma, Travis Head, Heinrich Klaasen, and Pat Cummins at the center of its setup, so it will not be keen on experimentation in its quest to be successful. Aniket is not a part of this core group and hence may not be part of their long term retention strategy. Aniket has proved to be susceptible to pace even though he plays destructively against spin. When the pinch-hitter is likely to face any form of bowling, particularly at the death overs, then his limited use of this single strength may prove a factor. Aniket was signed only at Rs 30 lakh during his first season, and may now be hoping to get a release and re-enter the auction pool hoping of getting a higher bid. His performances and the hype that he has generated could be something that franchises are considering, particularly those who have a vacancy in their lower-order needing powerful stroke play, especially against spin bowling. However, despite the fact that SRH did not qualify for the playoffs, the franchise is not expected to drastically change. Their general approach appears to be somewhat successful, although slight changes such as removal of flat dimensional players in favor of more multipotent ones might be around the corner. Aniket may just be another victim of this strategic tweaking, particularly when he fails to broaden his scope on the fast bowling.

Kuldeep Yadav all but earns Gautam Gambhir's trust to play 2nd Test after revealing Pietersen's trick to trouble England
It remains to be seen if India head coach Gautam Gambhir and captain Shubman Gill decide to put their bet on Kuldeep Yadav for the second Test match against England, but it so appears that the leg-spinner is far more than just ready to let it rip against Ben Stokes and his men. In fact, his preparations began as early as the IPL 2025 season in the Delhi Capitals camp, where team mentor and former England captain Kevin Pietersen helped him fine-tune tactics to trouble the English batting line-up. Kevin Pietersen was the mentor of Delhi Capitals during IPL 2025 Speaking to the Indian Express just two days before the start of the second game of the England tour in Birmingham, Kuldeep revealed that he made the most of Pietersen's presence in the Delhi camp. The veteran batter, known for his exploits against spin, one of which helped England claim a historic Test series win in India in 2012, obliged. The India star said that by the end of the arduous two-month T20 season, they had practically run through each of the England batters, discussing their strength and weaknesses. "Kevin Petersen was part of our team at DC. He gave me a lot of inputs for the England tour. He told me about fielding positions, pitches and the batsmen. We ran through their batting line up. He told me about the mindset needed in England," Kuldeep said. "Pietersen said that generally spinners come to England with a defensive mindset. They think that in England, fast bowlers will get wickets and they will be in a supporting role. He told me to take the field with an attacking mindset. If I get a game and bowl 15 to 20 overs, I have to always think about how to get the batsmen out." Will Kuldeep play in 2nd Test? If there has been one learning from the defeat in Leeds last week, it was that India lacked genuine wicket-takers, with Jasprit Bumrah being the standout performer. The right-arm pacer picked up five wickets in the first innings to single-handedly dictate the terms for India after the batting exploits, but lacked support in both innings. With Kuldeep's renewed aggressive approach, he has been backed for a place in the playing XI for the game at Edgbaston. But his inclusion would mean India would have to compromise on batting by having to bench bowling all-rounder Shardul Thakur, who had a below-par outing at Headingley. This would also mean India might go in with two spinners for the second game, with all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja being the other. "Apan ko kuch aata nahi hai bowling ke aalava (I don't know anything other than bowling). If you don't take wickets, you can't justify yourself for playing in England. If you don't take wickets, I don't think you deserve to play. But I know one thing, wherever one is playing, at home or in England. I have to get the revs on the ball and the drift and that will get me wickets," Kuldeep said.
