Nitish Kumar Reddy Breaks Silence On Reports Of Sunrisers Hyderabad Exit Over 'Role' Row
Indian cricket team all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy finally broke his silence on the rumours of him leaving Sunrisers Hyderabad. Ahead of the IPL 2026 auctions, some reports emerged, stating that SRH star has expressed his desire to leave the franchise, over his role in the team. However, Reddy took to social media to clear the air. "I tend to stay away from the noise, but some things deserve clarity. My connection with SRH is built on trust, respect, and years of shared passion. I'll always stand by this team," Reddy posted on X (formerly known as Twitter). I tend to stay away from the noise, but some things deserve clarity. My connection with SRH is built on trust, respect, and years of shared passion. I'll always stand by this team. — Nitish Kumar Reddy (@NKReddy07) July 27, 2025 According to a report by India Today, Reddy is looking for a new start as he is not happy with his role at SRH. Reddy was retained by the Hyderabad-based franchise at Rs 6 crore ahead of the mega auction of IPL 2025. In the 2024 season, Reddy had an amazing outing with 303 runs in 13 matches and also took three wickets. However, he failed to repeat his heroics in 2025 as he scored only 182 runs in 13 games. The report also stated that Reddy had conveyed to SRH that he wanted to bat at No.4 in the 2025 season and his request was accepted by the franchise. However, the pitch conditions forced them to bring in Heinrich Klaasen at No.4, pushing Reddy down at 5 and sometimes even 6 or 7. Talking about Reddy, the all-rounder is also going through a legal trouble as his former agent filed a petition against him, asking him to clear his dues of Rs 5 crore. According to some sources of India Today, Reddy opted for a new manager during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 against Australia, ending his four-year relationship with Square The One. However, the agency has now accused him for not clearing the dues. A petition under Section 11(6) of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act has been filed by Square The One Private Limited, accusing the Sunrisers Hyderabad all-rounder of breaching the management agreement and non-payment of dues.

4 Players Mumbai Indians Might Release Before IPL 2026 Auction: Deepak Chahar, Robin Minz And...
photoDetails english 2937459 Updated:Jul 26, 2025, 09:03 PM IST 1. Deepak Chahar 1 / 7 Mumbai Indians picked Deepak Chahar for Rs 9.25 crore in the 2025 mega auction. However, Chahar failed to deliver up to the expectations during the IPL 2025 season. He picked 11 wickets in 14 matches at a high economy of 9.17. Given his high salary and low return, Mumbai Indians might consider releasing Deepak before the IPL 2026 auction to free up the budget. Deepak Chahar's IPL Record 2 / 7 Deepak Chahar, who has played a role in the title wins of Chennai Super Kings (CSK) over the years, has picked 88 wickets in 95 matches with an economy of 8.13 in his IPL career so far. 2. Mujeeb Ur Rahman 3 / 7 Mumbai Indians (MI) picked Mujeeb-ur-Rahman for Rs 2 crore as a replacement for Allah Ghazanfar, who was ruled out of the IPL 2025 season due to an injury. However, Mujeeb didn't fit in MI's playing XI and played only one match and conceded 28 off two overs. Given the mystery element factor, Mumbai Indians might consider retaining Ghazanfar and releasing Mujeeb before the IPL 2026 auction. Mujeeb Ur Rahman's IPL Record 4 / 7 Mujeeb-ur-Rahman, who has represented multiple teams, has played 20 IPL matches and has 20 wickets against his name with an economy rate of 8.34 so far. 3. Robin Minz 5 / 7 Robin Minz was bought by Mumbai Indians for Rs. 65 lakh in the 2025 mega auction. However, he couldn't do much in limited opportunities, scoring just 6 runs in 2 matches of IPL 2025 season. Mumbai Indians might consider releasing Minz before the IPL 2026 auction to free up a slot for a more reliable wicket-keeper batter as he appeared unprepared for the IPL level. 4. Reece Topley 6 / 7 England pacer Reece Topley was picked by Mumbai Indians for Rs 75 lakh during the IPL 2025 mega auction. However, Topley played only one match in IPL 2025, against Punjab Kings in Qualifier 2, where he conceded 40 runs in three overs. Given the lack of utility and trust, Mumbai Indians might consider releasing Topley before the IPL 2026 auction and target a more consistent overseas pacer to bolster their bowling. Reece Topley's IPL Record 7 / 7 Reece Topley, who can bowl early in the powerplay and can also bowl lethal yorkers in the slog overs, has played 6 IPL matches and picked 5 wickets so far.

photoDetails english 2935358 Updated:Jul 22, 2025, 06:41 PM IST 1. Ayush Mhatre (CSK) 1 / 8 Chennai Super Kings (CSK) picked Ayush Mhatre as a replacement for the injured Ruturaj Gaikwad in the middle of the IPL 2025 season. The five-times champions CSK had a terrible IPL 2025 season as they finished at the bottom of the points table. However, the 17-year-old Mhatre impressed everyone including MS Dhoni with his impactful knocks. He smashed 240 runs in 7 matches at an average of 34.28 and a strike rate of 188.97 in the IPL 2025 season. After his impressive IPL debut season, Mhatre is all set to be retained by CSK before the IPL 2026 auction. Ayush Mhatre's Record In T20 Cricket 2 / 8 Ayush Mhatre, the teen batting sensation from Mumbai, has scored 240 runs in 7 matches at an average of 34.28 and a strike rate of 188.97 in his short T20 cricket career so far. 2. Corbin Bosch (Mumbai Indians) 3 / 8 Mumbai Indians signed Corbin Bosch as replacement of injured Lizaad Williams in the middle of the IPL 2025 season. Though Bosch featured in only three games in IPL 2025, he managed to create an impact with both bat and ball. The South African all-rounder provided valuable depth to the Mumbai Indians squad and helped them reach the playoffs. Given his utility, the 30-year-old Bosch is likely to be retained by Mumbai Indians before the IPL 2026 auction. Corbin Bosch's Record In T20 Cricket 4 / 8 Corbin Bosch, who is valuable with both bat and ball, has played 92 matches in T20 cricket so far. During that time, he has scored 741 runs and picked 62 wickets so far. 3. Dewald Brevis (CSK) 5 / 8 Chennai Super Kings (CSK) signed young South African batter Dewald Brevis as a replacement for the injured Gurjapneet Singh in the middle of the IPL 2025 season. Brevis produced many impactful and match-winning knocks while batting in the middle order for CSK amid the team's poor IPL campaign. The 22-year-old Brevis, who scored 225 runs in 6 matches of IPL 2025 at an average of 37.50 and a strike rate of 180.00, is set to be retained by CSK before the IPL 2026 auction. Dewald Brevis' Record In T20 Cricket 6 / 8 Dewald Brevis, who is known for his attacking cricket, has scored 2267 runs in 98 T20 matches with an average of 27.98 and strike rate of 151.94 so far. He has picked 18 wickets as well. 4. Shardul Thakur (LSG) 7 / 8 Lucknow Super Giants signed Shardul Thakur as replacement for injured Mohsin Khan, who was ruled out of the 18th season of the IPL due to injury. Thakur, a proven performer across all three formats for India, was signed from the Registered Available Player Pool (RAPP) at his reserve price of Rs 2 crore. Shardul has made an impact with the ball for LSG during the ongoing IPL 2025 season. Thakur picked 13 wickets in 10 matches during the IPL 2025 season. Given his utility and low price tag, Thakur is likely to be retained by LSG before the IPL 2026 auction. Shardul Thakur's Record In T20 Cricket 8 / 8 Shardul Thakur, who has a knack to take wickets and possesses an ability to score important runs, has scored 459 runs and picked 202 wickets in his T20 career so far.

4 Temporary Replacements Of 2025 Who Can Earn Big Money In IPL 2026 Auction: Jonny Bairstow, Mustafizur Rahman And...
photoDetails english 2934908 Updated:Jul 21, 2025, 10:28 PM IST 1. Jonny Bairstow (Mumbai Indians) 1 / 7 Mumbai Indians picked Jonny Bairstow as temporary replacement for Will Jacks, who had to join England squad for national duties ahead of the IPL 2025 playoffs. Bairstow played just two matches in IPL 2025, scoring 85 runs at a strike rate of 184.78, but he made immediate impact with the bat while opening the innings with Rohit Sharma for Mumbai Indians. The 35-year-old is an experienced T20 cricketer with a strong international record and a proven match-winner in the IPL. His explosive batting and wicket-keeping skill make him a valuable asset and if Bairstow maintains fitness, franchises are likely to bid heavily for him during the 2026 auction. Jonny Bairstow's IPL Record 2 / 7 Jonny Bairstow, who is one of the cleanest strikers of the ball and can win the matches for his team on his own, has scored 1674 runs in 52 matches with an average of 34.87 and strike rate of 146.07 in his IPL career so far. 2. Kyle Jamieson (Punjab Kings) 3 / 7 Punjab Kings (PBKS) picked New Zealand pacer Kyle Jamieson as a replacement for Lockie Ferguson, who was ruled out of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 due to a hamstring injury. He played only four matches of IPL 2025 season but he made notable contributions, particularly in high-stakes games for Punjab Kings. Jamieson, who is known for leveraging his 6'8" height to generate pace and bounce and can also contribute as a lower-order batter, can be a good buying option for teams during IPL 2026 auction. Kyle Jamieson's IPL Record 4 / 7 Kyle Jamieson, who is known for using his height to extract extra and awkward bounce, has picked 14 wickets in 13 matches with an economy of 9.67 in his IPL career so far. 3. Mustafizur Rahman (Delhi Capitals) 5 / 7 Delhi Capitals (DC) signed Bangladesh pacer Mustafizur Rahman as a temporary replacement for Jake Fraser-McGurk, who had left Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 midway due to personal reasons. He took four wickets in three matches of IPL 2025 with his variations. Given his experience and ability to bowl cutters and deceptive slower balls, Mustafizur Rahman can be a sought-after bowler for franchises during IPL 2026 auction. Mustafizur Rahman's IPL Record 6 / 7 Mustafizur Rahman, who has played for five IPL teams, has 65 wickets to his name in 60 matches with an economy of 8.13 so far. 4. William O'Rourke (Lucknow Super Giants) 7 / 7 Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) roped in New Zealand pacer, William O'Rourke as a replacement for Mayank Yadav, who sustained a back injury and was ruled out of the IPL 2025 season. It was his maiden IPL season during which he had a mix of highs and lows. O'Rourke performance against Gujarat Titans ( 3 wickets for 27 runs in 4 overs) showcased his potential as a game-changer. Overall, he picked 6 wickets in three IPL matches during the IPL 2025 season. Given his ability to extract bounce and perform under pressure in key moments, O'Rourke can be a valuable asset and teams are likely to bid heavily for him during the IPL 2026 auction.

photoDetails english 2934881 Updated:Jul 21, 2025, 06:49 PM IST 1. Dhruv Jurel 1 / 8 Rajasthan Royals showed massive trust in Dhruv Jurel by retaining him for a whopping Rs 14 crore ahead of the IPL mega auction. However, Dhruv Jurel failed to deliver up to the expectations during the IPL 2025 season. The-24-year-old Jurel scored 333 runs in 14 matches, with an average of 37.00 and strike rate of 156.33 during the IPL 2025 season. He failed to take RR over the victory on multiple occasions in the run chase during the season. Given his high salary and low return, Rajasthan Royals might consider releasing Jurel before the IPL 2026 auction. Dhruv Jurel's IPL Record 2 / 8 Young India wicket-keeper batter Dhruv Jurel has scored 680 runs in 42 IPL matches with an average of 28.33 and strike rate of 153.84 so far. 2. Tushar Deshpande 3 / 8 Tushar Deshpande was picked by Rajasthan Royals for Rs 6.50 crore during the mega auction. After showing his wicket-taking ability and fighting spirit at CSK in the last few editions, Tushar failed to deliver for Rajasthan Royals in the IPL 2025 season. Tushar has picked 9 wickets in 10 matches of IPL 2025 with an poor economy rate of 10.62 before getting dropped from the Rajasthan Royals playing XI in the last few matches. Given his ordinary show with the ball, Deshpande might be released by Rajasthan Royals before the IPL 2026 auction. Tushar Deshpande's IPL Record 4 / 8 Tushar Deshpande, who emerged as the CSK's highest wicket-taker in their title-winning campaign in 2023, has picked 51 wickets in 46 IPL matches so far. 3. Shimron Hetmyer 5 / 8 Shimron Hetmyer, the destructive finisher who was a mainstay in the Royals middle-order during the last cycle from 2022 to 2024, was retained by Rajasthan Royals for 11 crore ahead of the IPL 2025 season. However, Hetmyer failed to finish games for RR during the IPL 2025 season. The 28-year-old Hetmyer scored 239 runs in 14 matches of IPL 2025 with an average of 21.72 and strike rate of 145.73. Considering his ordinary performance and high salary, Rajasthan Royals might consider releasing Hetmyer to buy someone new for the finisher's role during the IPL 2026 auction. Shimron Hetmyer's IPL Record 6 / 8 Shimron Hetmyer, who is known for his aggressive batting and finishing abilities, has scored 1482 runs in 86 IPL matches with an average of 29.05 and strike rate of 151.84 so far. 4. Wanindu Hasaranga 7 / 8 Wanindu Hasaranga was picked by Rajasthan Royals for Rs 5.25 crore during the IPL mega auction. The franchise had high hopes from the Sri Lankan spinner but he failed to deliver up to the expectations. Hasaranga picked 11 wickets in 11 matches of IPL 2025 with an economy rate of 9.04. Given his ordinary performance with the ball, RR might consider releasing Hasaranga before the IPL 2026 auction. Wanindu Hasaranga's IPL Record 8 / 8 Wanindu Hasaranga, who is a popular choice in global franchise leagues, has picked 46 wickets in 37 matches with an economy rate of 8.41 during his IPL career so far.
