In a shocking development, young Indian all -rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy is allegedly allegedly flourishing except Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) beyond the next edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL). Despite maintaining a large -scale INR 6 crore, Nitish Kumar Reddy is not happy how things were excluded in the IPL 2025 season.
The Rising Star is now looking for a new beginning elsewhere. As mentioned by India today, Nitish is not happy with the role given in IPL 2025, and now he is keen to make a new start with a new franchise in the next version of the Cash-Ritch T20 League.
Nitish Kumar Reddy set Sunrisers Hyderabad to leave IPL 2026
Ahead of the IPL 2025 mega auction, Sunrisers Hyderabad retained only five players, and Nitish was one of them. Among the Indian players, only Reddy and Abhishek Sharma were retained, showing how much importance SRH gave them.

But things have not been as expected for all-rounder. In the 2025 season, the 22 -year -old sensation played 13 matches, but his role in the team does not match his expectations. He left mostly to bat at number 6 or number 7 and faced very few balls in many matches.
As a result, Nitish could only score 182 runs throughout the season and bowl in only 5 overs, contrary to his role as a proper all-rounder.
SRH lost Nitish Kumar Reddy for Henriques Klassen
India Today claimed that Nitish Kumar Reddy had asked the number 4 batting position before SRH agreed to have a big impact. However, when the season began, Sunrisers Hyderabad gave the place to South African Henrich Klassen.
Klassen gave the most opportunity and did his best IPL season, scoring 487 runs at a strike rate of more than 170 including a century. With Klassen firing on all cylinders and pitches, SRH felt that he needed a person with more experience on number 4.
This ordered Nitish, and his opportunities were limited. Now, Nitish feels that he was not given the promised role, and he is planning to leave SRH for a new beginning in IPL 2026. If Reddy enters the IPL 2026 auction, many teams will probably be interested in it. His ability to bowl and hit big shots quickly makes him a valuable player for any side.
