Australian cricketer Pat Cummins, the World Cup-winning captain, has been appointed as the captain of the Sunrisers Hyderabad team for the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) season, as announced by the franchise on Monday.
The 30-year-old fast bowler was acquired by SRH for a staggering Rs 20.50 crore during the IPL auctions held in December last year, making him the second most expensive player in the history of the event.
Cummins takes over the captaincy from South African player Aiden Markram, who led SRH in the 2023 season.
The announcement was made by SRH across various social media platforms, accompanied by a picture of Cummins.
Having previously played for Kolkata Knight Riders and Delhi Daredevils in the IPL, Cummins brings a wealth of experience to his new role with SRH.
