However, the league stage of 2025 saw the team grappling with inconsistency and early eliminations, marking a stark contrast to the previous year's success.

Background

The 2025 Indian Premier League is the 18th edition of the Indian Premier League, a franchise Twenty20 cricket league held in India, organized by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). The tournament features ten teams competing in 74 matches from 22 March to 25 May 2025 across 13 venues in India. [4]

Franchises were allowed to retain a maximum of six players from their squad, [6] [7] including a maximum of five recent international players. [8] Franchises were required to submit their retention lists before 31 October 2024. [9] Hyderabad retained five players. [10]

[14] Hyderabad had a purse remaining of 45 crore (US$5.3 million). [15] Franchises who did not retain six players, were allowed Right-to-Match cards at the auction for each player not retained.
