Uncertainty Over Pat Cummins and Travis Head
According to media reports, Sunrisers Hyderabad’s top 3 players include 2 foreigners and 1 Indian player. It is reported that Sunrisers Hyderabad will pay Rs 23 crore to retain a player in the team. According to the information received, there is talk that the Hyderabad team will not pay the amount to captain Pat Cummins or star opener Travis Head, but to Henrik Klaasen of South Africa. Hyderabad’s Henrik Klaasen is the first choice to retain.
Hyderabad bought Pat Cummins last season for Rs 20.50 crore. Pat also became the second most expensive player in the history of the IPL tournament. Pat Cummins led Hyderabad to the finals under his leadership. But at the last moment, the trophy was given away. But even after that, it is said that Hyderabad is not willing to keep Pat in the team by paying an extra amount.
Abhishek Sharma: The Third Retention
Team India’s youngster Abhishek Sharma is said to be Hyderabad’s third choice to retain. Abhishek scored 484 runs with 42 sixes at a strike rate of 204 last season. While compared to Klassen and Abhishek, Travis Head alone scored the most runs with 567 runs. It was said that Pat Cummins would be the team’s first choice and would insist on retaining him first. But, surprisingly, Hyderabad preferred Klassen first. Will Hyderabad retain the head as well, but keep it at the same price or reduce it? There is still uncertainty about this.
