Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) had a very poor outing in the IPL 2023. Aiden Markram was named the captain of the SRH franchise after he had led the sister franchise of Hyderabad in the SA20 to the title. Markram has also been South Africa’s captain in limited overs for quite some time and is tipped to be the next captain of the side. In this article, we will take a look at three players who might replace Aiden Markram as SRH captain in IPL 2024.
Probable picks as SRH captain in IPL 2024:
Travis Head
Travis Head was a steal for Sunrisers Hyderabad side in the IPL 2024 auction. Travis Head has captained in the Big Bash League previously and is part of the Australian team leadership group. He is also 30 years old and can be a long-term option for SRH as captain.
Pat Cummins
ICC Cricketer of the Year and Captain to win both the World Test Championship and the World Cup for Australia in the same year in 2023, Pat Cummins is the best option for SRH to name captain for the IPL 2024. Sunrisers Hyderabad paid Pat Cummins a whopping sum of INR 20.50 Cr in the IPL 2024 auction.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar
Bhuvneshwar Kumar is one player on whom Sunrisers Hyderabad have a lot of trust. He has been retained and picked by SRH in auctions since 2013 and Kumar has repaid the faith with a wonderful display of pace bowling. He was officially named the vice-captain of the side in IPL 2018.
