After a month of speculations, the final updated retentions for IPL 2025 have been announced. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) convened with all IPL franchises, engaging in extensive discussions and deliberations to ensure compliance with retention rules before finalizing the squad.

As per ESPNcricinfo, the Sunrisers Hyderabad are all set to retain Heinrich Klaasen, Pat Cummins, Abhishek Sharma, Travis Head, and Nitish Kumar Reddy for the 2025 Indian Premier League. Klaasen is likely to get a whooping INR 23 Crore while captain Cummins will be getting 18 Crore.

Every batter carries a unique rhythm against specific opponents, whether auspicious or otherwise. Travis Head's narrative in the IPL Finals epitomized this phenomenon as the Aussie succumbed to a golden duck, perpetuating his trend of faltering against teams donning non-blue jerseys.

Nothing pumps up a fast bowler more than taking down an in-form batter on the grandest stage. Such was the scene in the IPL 2024 final between the Kolkata Knight Riders and Sunrisers Hyderabad where Mitchell Starc dismissed the red-hot Abhishek Sharma with a magnificent delivery in the first over.
