Sunrisers Hyderabad were one of the most entertaining teams in the 2025 season of the Indian Premier League. They will carry the same reputation in the following edition of the tournament, largely due to their fearless batting approach and ability to post massive totals.

However, inconsistency across departments prevented them from fully capitalising on their explosive starts. As they prepare for IPL 2026, the franchise will once again rely on its overseas stars to provide balance and match-winning performances. Selecting the right combination of four overseas players could be key to SRH mounting a stronger challenge in 2026.

The dashing all-rounder from England, Liam Livingstone, was bought by Sunrisers Hyderabad for a whopping price of INR 13.00 crore at the auction ahead of the upcoming season. He is their latest addition to an already hyper-explosive batting line-up and is expected to provide a decent option with the ball as well.

Livingstone is widely known for his power hitting and ability to clear any boundary. Even though he had a disappointing campaign with the bat for the 2025 champions RCB, his quality can never be questioned. The right-hander also can give his side a few valuable overs with the ball.
