Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Sunrisers Hyderabad is likely to change its skipper ahead of the upcoming season in 2024, Cricbuzz reported. Sunrisers Hyderabad may name Australia’s Pat Cummins as their new skipper after the team’s miserable performance in the last season under Aiden Markram, the report said. The 17th edition of the Indian Premier League is scheduled to start from March 22.
It is important to note that under Cummins’ captaincy, Australia defeated Team India in the finals of the World Test Championship and Cricket World Cup last year. Earlier, the IPL franchise splurged ₹20.50 crore on Cummins—making him the second most expensive player in the league’s history—keeping his captaincy attributes in mind.
