The Sunrisers Hyderabad was set to be among the big spenders as they started this IPL auction with a purse of INR 34 crore. 2016 IPL champs started their auction by picking up Travis Head for INR 6.80 Crore in the first set which included capped batters.
Then in the second set of capped all-rounders, Sunrisers Hyderabad went all-in for Australian captain Pat Cummins.

But in 2021 he was dropped from the squad while being removed as the captain after a poor 2020 season where he returned after being banned for ball-tampering against South Africa in 2018. Since then Warner moved to Delhi Capitals in the 2022 auction and has been an integral part of the DC squad.
