SRH squad after IPL 2026 auction: Full list of players purchased by Sunrisers Hyderabad with their respective prices
SRH entered the mini auction with a purse of INR 25.5 crore and acquired nine players in all
Sunrisers Hyderabad splurged INR 13 crore to sign England all-rounder Liam Livingstone at the IPL 2026 mini-auction on Tuesday. Livingstone had gone unsold at his base price of INR 2 crore in the first round, but triggered a fierce bidding war between SRH and Lucknow Super Giants in the accelerated round. LSG eventually ran out of funds, allowing SRH to secure his signature.
SRH spent big on uncapped Indian player Salil Arora, acquiring him for INR 1.5 crore, from a base price of ₹30 lakhs. The franchise also roped in Onkar Tarmale and Sakib Hussain for ₹30 lakhs each. Meanwhile, Shivang Kumar joined for ₹30 lakhs too.
