IPL 2025: Rating Teams based on their final squads
A total of 228 players were sold in a two-day-long IPL 2025 mega-auction.
1. Sunrisers Hyderabad - 9.5/10
Sunrisers Hyderabad have got the best squad at the moment. They retained Heinrich Klaasen, Pat Cummins, Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma and Nitish Reddy and on top of that, the 2016 champions signed Ishan Kishan for INR 11.25 crore, Mohammed Shami for INR 10 crore, Harshal Patel for INR 8 crore, Rahul Chahar for INR 3.2 crore and Adam Zampa for INR 2.4 crore, making it a star-studded team.
They have covered all the bases. The Cummins-led side built a new bowling attack that features the captain himself, Shami, Harshal, Chahar, Jaydev Unadkat and Simarjeet Singh among others. In the batting department, they have added Atharva Taide, who can replace Abhishek Sharma if required and Abhinav Manohar can also be an excellent fit or can be used as an Impact Sub if required.
Hyderabad qualified for the final in the IPL 2024 and this time around, they can go the distance and lift the trophy for the second time. Be it playing XI or backups, they have got everything sorted. However, they will only hope that the players remain injury-free.
