Ishan Kishan, one of India's most explosive wicket-keeper batters, has found a new home in the Indian Premier League.
Vettori said the pair of Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head remains crucial to their success but acknowledged that the opposition teams have planned well.
SRH's Abhinav Manohar made up for his batting failure with a brilliant catch at point.
'Rinku supported Zeeshan a lot during UP T20 league. A leg-spinner needs a lot of confidence from his captain. He was brought into bowl at crucial junctures and that helped him catch attention of scouts.'
With a five-match T20I series in October-November in Australia, five T20Is against South Africa at home in December and five T20Is against New Zealand at home in January 2026, Team India will now look to test itself, its combinations and youngsters against some of the world's best T20I teams ahead of the T20 WC 2026, which will start in early 2026.
The Hyderabad-based franchise has retained Klaasen for a whopping amount of Rs. 23 crores. Skipper Cummins was roped in for an amount of Rs. 18 crores. Openers Abhishek and Travis were retained for Rs. 14 crores each. Meanwhile, Nitish Reddy was retained by SRH for Rs. 6 crores.
Vettori felt the turf on Sunday wasn't a typical Hyderabad surface.
He finished with 4-0-34-3, a testament to his ability to exploit early wickets and dismantle batting line-ups with his raw pace. This performance served as a stark reminder of why he was the most sought-after bowler at the IPL auction.
