Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) have been going through a difficult phase in the Indian Premier League (IPL) lately. In the last two years, the supporters of the franchise have endured numerous embarrassing defeats.

From the sacking of the then-skipper David Warner (2021 edition) to not paying heed to the then-assistant coach Simon Katich's pre-auction plans ahead of the mega-auction 2022, SRH made headlines for many negative reasons.

But things went worse when SRH in the fifteenth season of the league delivered underwhelming performances under Kane Williamson. Out of 14 matches in the season, SRH won only six which was not sufficient for the team to make it to the playoffs.

After Williamson took over the reins of the team, he looked completely out of rhythm with his bat. In the 13 matches of the league, the veteran amassed only 216 runs at a poor average of 19.64 and at an underwhelming strike rate of 93.&nbsp;

For the next season of the tournament, the 2016 champions have to deliver their best with disciplined performances in the batting, bowling, and fielding departments to outclass other squads. After the poor performances of the team in 2022, the franchise also parted ways with Tom Moody by appointing Brian Lara as the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/sunrisers-hyderabad-name-brain-lara-as-head-coach/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">head coach</a>.

In the previous season, Lara provided his services to the team as the batting coach. With the appointment of a new head coach, the franchise will look forward to bidding adieu to non-performing names.

With that in mind, let’s have a look at the players SRH might release ahead of the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/tag/ipl-auction/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">mini-auction</a>:

This season, SRH believed in <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/srh-batter-shashank-singh-talks-about-his-cricket-journey/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Shashank Singh</a> to provide strength to the middle order. Out of the 14 matches in the 2022 edition, the team rested their hopes on the India batter on ten occasions. But the batter’s contribution to the team was not up to the mark.&nbsp;

In the ten games played during the recently culminated edition, Shashank got the opportunity to bat in only five innings in which he could only manage 69 runs at an average of 17.25. After taking a look at these figures, it would be difficult for the franchise to provide him a chance to be with the team for another season.&nbsp;

Earlier, at the auction, the franchise invested INR 20 lakhs in him to make him a part of the SRH team for their campaign in 2022.

Shreyas Gopal’s bowling skills caught everyone's attention in the 2019 edition of the IPL when he took a hat-trick for Rajasthan Royals against Royal Challengers Bangalore, which included top batting maestros in Virat Kohli, <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/social-tracker-cricket/youre-very-quickly-getting-there-dude-ab-de-villiers-heaps-ultimate-praise-on-suryakumar-yadav/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ab de Villiers</a>, and Marcus Stoinis. His record in the league and wealth of experiences with franchises such as Mumbai Indians and Rajasthan Royals helped him to secure a place in the SRH camp.

The franchise bought him for INR 75 lakhs but the right-arm leg-spinner got a chance to appear only once in the season. In that game, he conceded 34 runs at an alarming rate of 11.25 with the wicket of Rishabh Pant in his kitty.

With almost eight years of IPL experience, the franchise was expecting him to do well with the ball in that match but his disappointing showing didn’t earn him a spot in the playing XI again. Since SRH didn't require him much in the last edition, it might happen that the franchise gets rid of him ahead of the mini-auction.

<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/srh-management-must-have-promoted-abdul-samad-at-no-4-spot-long-back-gautam-gambhir/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Abdul Samad</a> has been a part of the Hyderabad franchise since the 2020 edition. The franchise retained him for the 2022 season by paying him INR 4 CR. His performance in the domestic circuit also played a significant role in him bagging such a whopping sum of money.

The youngster was given a chance to play for the team in two games during the 2022 edition, but his scores of 4 and 0 against Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) respectively finished all his chances to feature in the playing XI for the rest of season.

The SRH team management’s step of keeping Samad out after a couple of matches, indicates that the 20-year-old might not be able to make it to the list of players who'll be retained by the franchise for the next season.

<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-players/romario-shepherd/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Romario Shepherd</a> is a renowned player known for his all-round performances. His glorifying display with both bat and ball in the Caribbean Premier League delighted the SRH franchise, which led to SRH rope him in for INR 7.75 crores.

But the 27–year-old Guyanese cricketer failed to do justice to his price tag as in the three matches that he played in the 2022 season, he was able to dismiss only three batters and gave away runs at an expensive economy rate of 10.89.

With such underwhelming figures, SRH, who wanted him to deliver with the ball mainly in the last season, are likely to release him ahead of the next season of the league.

The 30-year-old <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-players/sean-abbott/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sean Abbott</a> is famous for delivering all-round performances for Sydney Sixers in the Big Bash League. With his lethal bowling, he is one of the highly reputed wicket-takers in the Australian league. At the IPL auction 2022, SRH trusted the all-rounder by buying him at INR 2.40 CR to do some magic with both bat and ball.

His ability to scalp wickets with the ball and contribute in the lower order with the bat should have witnessed his inclusion in the squad’s playing XI straight away. But the Australian all-rounder was made to sit on the bench due to combination issues.

In the 50th match of the league, Abbott made his debut for SRH against Delhi Capitals, but his ineffectiveness with both the bat and ball in that game became a reason behind him not getting selected in the playing XI for the remaining season. Since, he wasn't able to make a case for himself by virtue of his performances, SRH might be tempted to leave him out ahead of the upcoming auction.
