The Indian Premier League: Former Australia cricketer Tom Moody picked Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) captain Pat Cummins, openers Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head, and Heinrich Klaasen as front-runners to be retained by the franchise ahead of the IPL 2025 mega auction.

Moody, who has coached SRH in two different stints between 2013 to 2022, backed the core players of the franchise to be retained after finishing as runners-up of the 2024 season.

Head, Abhishek and Klaasen were the top run-getters for the side in the memorable season and played a key role in their campaign to the final. Head scored 567 runs including a century and four fifties while Abhishek hammered 484 runs with the help of three half-centuries. Klaasen accumulated 479 runs in the season including four half-centuries.
