Analysis and review of 2018 IPL retentions

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH)

This duo will be back in the Orange Army

Retention Strategy

They've retained their best batsman and their best bowler as they aim to build around them. However, they've let go of Rashid Khan which was an interesting decision.

Retentions

David Warner

He captained the Orange Army to the title in 2016 and has the potential to repeat that. He's one of the top run-scorers in the IPL and has always led from the front.

Approx. Value: 10 Cr. To 14 Cr.

Retained: 12 Cr.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar

The Swing King and Yorker Master will continue his stint at Hyderabad. He is an integral part of SRH's setup as he is capable of bowling in the powerplay and at the death. At 8.5 Cr., he is a bargain.

Approx. Value: 9 Cr. To 12 Cr.

Retained: 8.5 Cr.
