In a shocking development, the young Indian versatile Nitish Kumar Reddy would have thought about the release of Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) before the next edition of the Premier Indian League (IPL). Although it was kept for a huge INR 6 INR crore, Nitish Kumar Reddy is not satisfied with the way things were broadcast in the 2025 season.
The rising star is now looking for a new start elsewhere. As India reported today, Nitish is not satisfied with the role he was given in IPL 2025, and now he wishes to make a new start with a new franchise in the next edition of the T20 League rich in cash.
Nitish Kumar Reddy began to leave Sunrisers Hyderabad before IPL 2026
Before the mega 2025 IPL auction, Sunrisers Hyderabad retained only five players, and Nitish was one. Among the Indian players, only Reddy and Abhishek Sharma have been preserved, showing how the SRH appreciated them.

But things did not go as planned for the versatile. During the 2025 season, the 22 -year -old feeling played 13 games, but his role in the team did not meet his expectations. He was mainly out to beat at n ° 6 or n ° 7 and obtained very few balls to face in several games.
Consequently, Nitish could only score 182 points and bowl only 5 overs throughout the season, which was strongly contrasting with its role as good cylindtor.
SRH began to lose Nitish Kumar Reddy for Heinrich Klaanse
India said today that Nitish Kumar Reddy had asked for the shotgarter No. 4 before agreeing to be kept by the SRH to have a greater impact. But, at the start of the season, Sunrisers Hyderabad gave this place to the South African striker Heinrich Klaan.
Klaasen took advantage of the occasion and had its best IPL season, marking 487 points at a striking pace of more than 170, including a century. With Klaasen pulling on all cylinders and terrains being hard for medium -sized strikers, SRH estimated that they needed someone with more experience in n ° 4.
This pushed Nitish in order, and his opportunities were limited. Now Nitish feels that the role promised to him has not been given, and he plans to leave SRH for a new start in IPL 2026. If Reddy enters the 2026 auction, many teams will probably be interested in him. His ability to play quickly and hit big blows made him a precious player for any team.

Nitish Kumar Reddy accused of violation of the contract
Meanwhile, Nitish Kumar Reddy faces a legal action by its former management agency, Square The One, which filed a case seeking more than 5 crores of ₹ in unpaid contributions. The agency has now approached the High Court of Delhi, alleging a breach of contract, with the hearing scheduled for July 28.
The dispute started during the Border-Gavaskar 2024-2025 trophy, after which Nitish put an end to the links with the agency and signed with another manager-the same as a player who was with Nitish during the tour in Australia.
Another overhyped player getting too much attention. He played like 2-3 good innings and suddenly everyone acting like he’s the next big thing. SRH probably realized he’s not worth the hype lmao
IPL 2026 mega auction will be intresting. Nitish Kumar Reddy is an all-rounder who can bat at no. 6 or 7 and bowl useful medium pace. His base price will likely be around 2 crores but could go much higher given his recent performances in international cricket. Teams like MI, RCB, and KKR might be interested.
This is such a shoking news! Nitish was doing so well for SRH, why they let him go like this?? Hope he finds better team that values his talent properly. All the best Nitish bhai! 🏏
As a SRH fan I’m tired of this nonsense! Every year same thing – good players leaving because of management issues. First Warner, then Rashid, now Nitish. When will Kavya mam and team learn?? We cant keep rebuilding every season and expect to win trophy!
Oh wow, another ‘ugly fallout’ in cricket. How surprising! 🙄 Next you’ll tell me there was ‘drama’ and ‘controversy’ too. IPL teams and players fighting over money? Who could have seen that coming?
Yeah sure, ‘ugly fallout’… probably means SRH didnt want to pay him what he deserved and now they’re spinning it like he’s the problem. Same old IPL politics yaar.
SRH and ugly fallouts – name a more iconic duo 😂 At this rate they should just rename themselves to ‘Sunrisers Drama’ instead of Sunrisers Hyderabad lol
RCB should go for him! We need good all rounder badly. Our batting is decent but bowling lacks depth. Nitish can provide both.
For those asking about his stats: In IPL 2025, Nitish scored 280 runs at average of 31.11 and strike rate of 142.85. He also took 8 wickets at economy of 8.2. Decent numbers for an all-rounder but not exceptional by any means.
Ugly fallout?? More like SRH management being their usual mess. They never know how to keep good players happy. Remember what happend with Warner? Same story repeating again and again.
Wait a minute! How can you say its SRH’s fault? We dont even know what happend behind the scenes. Maybe Nitish was demanding too much money or had attitude issues? Stop blaming management for everything without facts!
