SRH Auction Summary: Sunrisers knew they needed spinners and quality ones, they went out and secured those in quick succession. Then got some back-up for fast bowlers and in the wicket-keeping department.
...
And with that, Sunrisers Hyderabad end their IPL Auction 2017 with still INR 12.25 crore in the bank. They end it with a total of 25 players and with a maximum of nine overseas players.


...
And this brings the curtain on IPL Auction 2017.
...
First up is Akshdeep Nath who goes GL then Darren Bravo who goes to KKR.
...
And with that we are entering the final round of the auction with each team submitting three players they want.

SRH pull out and some sense prevails after all. Especially considering they already have Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Ashish Nehra, Mustafizur and Chris Jordan.
