In 2018 IPL Auction, he was bought by Sunrisers Hyderabad for ₹2 crores. Shakib Al Hasan scored a vital 28 runs and took a solitary wicket giving away just 17 runs in 4 overs in the qualifier game against Kolkata Knight Riders and played a significant performance against his former IPL franchise.

Kolkata Knight Riders made a big mistake by selling him.
