Yes, you heard it right. The IPL 2025 season will begin with a mega auction. The IPL Chairman, Arun Dhumal, mentioned that the mega auction will take place before the 2025 season, and a team can retain a maximum of four players, like in 2022. This concludes that some of our favorite players might not be seen on the same team as before. So, let us look at the possible Sunrisers Hyderabad retention and releases for the IPL Mega Auction 2025.
