SRH batter set at a base price of Rs 30 lakh"},"content":{"rendered":"<p data-start=\"175\" data-end=\"564\">Abhinav Manohar, the Karnataka middle-order batter known for his clean hitting and composure under pressure, enters the IPL 2026 Auction with a <strong data-start=\"319\" data-end=\"347\">base price of Rs 30 lakh<\/strong> after a challenging but eventful year with Sunrisers Hyderabad. The 30-year-old has built a reputation as a powerful finisher, but his recent journey has been marked as much by resilience as by cricketing milestones.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"566\" data-end=\"955\">Ahead of the domestic season, Manohar endured a difficult off-season, spending weeks at home recovering from jaundice followed by a viral fever. The illnesses left him drained and unable to train, with the batter openly admitting he had \u201clost a lot of muscle\u201d during the forced layoff. For someone who needed time in the middle after a tough IPL 2025, the timing could not have been worse.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"957\" data-end=\"1016\">Yet, resilience has always been central to Manohar\u2019s story.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1018\" data-end=\"1458\">His rise began in dramatic fashion during the 2021 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy pre-quarters, where he walked in at <strong data-start=\"1129\" data-end=\"1141\">60 for 4<\/strong> chasing 146 against Saurashtra and smashed an unbeaten <strong data-start=\"1197\" data-end=\"1216\">70 off 49 balls<\/strong>, including six sixes. It was an innings that instantly put him on the radar of IPL scouts. Gujarat Titans picked him for their debut season in 2022 \u2014 a year that he still calls \u201ca dream come true,\u201d as the franchise went on to lift the title.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1460\" data-end=\"1623\">Now part of Sunrisers Hyderabad\u2019s setup, Manohar remains valued for his finishing ability, clean ball-striking, and ability to absorb pressure in the middle order.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1625\" data-end=\"1869\">As the IPL 2026 auction approaches, the Karnataka batter enters the pool as an experienced, battle-hardened option at an affordable price point \u2014 a profile that could attract teams seeking a domestic middle-order hitter with proven temperament.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1871\" data-end=\"2000\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">If you want, I can also prepare a shorter headline version, a team-fit analysis, or a bullet-style player snapshot for Instagram.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Abhinav Manohar, the Karnataka middle-order batter known for his clean hitting and composure under pressure, enters the IPL 2026 Auction\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":250,"featured_media":42665,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-22454","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ipl"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22454","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/250"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22454"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22454\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/42665"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22454"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=22454"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22454"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
