Kavya Maran had a big blunder in auction… The team of Sunrisers stuck on this player – IPL 2025 Kavya Maran Did a Mistake in auction buying Abhinav manohar in place of abdul samad for srh
Mistake in mega auction?
Like the previous season, Sunrisers Hyderabad owner Kavya Maran once again invested on aggressive batsmen and took almost all the right steps in the mega auction. But he made a big mistake. The decision to bring Hyderabad team into the team instead of Abdul Samad can prove to be expensive as this player has not been able to do anything throughout the season, while Hyderabad has dropped him against KKR.
Samad should not have dropped
Abdul Samad proved to be an important finisher for Sunrisers Hyderabad in the previous season and his strike-rate was 168. Despite performing well as a finisher, Hyderabad decided to release him and did not consider buying him at the auction. At the same time, Hyderabad trusted Abhinav for Rs 3.20 crore and he is failing.
Abdul Samad had a strike-card in 2024 and after leaving the Hyderabad team, it has improved further while playing for Lucknow. Samad is now scoring runs at a strike rate of 245. He now has a clear game-plan and could have been an easy option for Hyderabad at number 7.
Acting is not going on
Abhinav Manohar came to the SRH team with high expectations, but after three matches, the decision to buy him for 3.20 crores is proving poor. He has scored just 6 runs in 3 matches. Manohar was not lowered to bat against KKR. Abhinav Manohar played a debut match in IPL 2022. He has played 22 matches so far. He has 237 runs in 18 innings. His best score has been 43 runs.
