Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) has officially appointed Australian cricket sensation Pat Cummins as the captain for the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 edition. The announcement was made on Monday, solidifying Cummins’ leadership role in the SRH squad.
Pat Cummins, the World Cup-winning captain from Australia, emerged as one of the marquee players in the IPL auctions held last December, securing a staggering Rs 20.50 crore bid from SRH. This significant acquisition not only cements Cummins as a cornerstone of the team but also establishes him as the second-costliest player in the history of the IPL.
The 30-year-old fast bowler will be taking over the captaincy from South African cricketer Aiden Markram, who led the SRH side during the 2023 IPL season. As Cummins steps into the role of captain, SRH expressed their confidence in his leadership abilities through social media platforms, sharing the announcement along with a picture of Cummins.
Having previously played for Kolkata Knight Riders and Delhi Daredevils in the IPL, Cummins brings a wealth of experience to the Sunrisers Hyderabad franchise. His dynamic style of play, coupled with his strategic acumen, makes him a valuable asset not only as a bowler but also as a leader on the field.
The SRH management and fans alike are eagerly anticipating Cummins’ captaincy debut as the team gears up for the high-octane IPL 2024 season. With his remarkable cricketing prowess and the responsibility of leading a formidable squad, Pat Cummins is poised to make a significant impact in shaping the team’s fortunes during the upcoming tournament.
