Sunrisers Hyderabad has been one of the most controversial teams in IPL history. And that's because nothing is stable in this team. Meaning instability. Nothing can be said when what will happen in this team, which is called the Orange Army of IPL. And, this is because the team management does not show the level of confidence in its players that should be seen. Something similar has happened in IPL 2024 also, where when everything seemed fine and balanced, suddenly the management surprised everyone by changing the captain of the team.
Sunrise to Pat Cummins
South Africa's Aiden Markram, who was looking in good form in terms of captaincy after making Sunrisers the SA20 champions, who seemed certain to captain in IPL 2024, was removed by the management and Australia's Pat Cummins was made the captain. Pat Cummins was bought by Sunrisers for Rs 20.50 crore in the IPL 2024 auction. When Sunrisers Hyderabad bid for Cummins in the auction, he was the most expensive player in IPL history. But, after the auction ended, he became the second most expensive player.
SRH captain Pat Cummins is the most expensive
Pat Cummins is the most expensive player of Sunrisers Hyderabad team. The management also made its most expensive player the captain of the team. But will this captain be able to bring back SRH's old glory? Here, old glory means the title win won by Sunrisers in IPL 2016, which was achieved under the leadership of Australian captain David Warner. Anyway, the Australian captain has a golden history when it comes to lifting trophies in the IPL. Considering this, SRH will have high expectations in IPL 2024.
Lack of factor in SRH's batting
The strength of the team can be estimated as to how big a challenge this will be for the new captain of Sunrisers Hyderabad, Pat Cummins. Talking about batting, they have definitely bought Travis Head in the IPL 2024 auction. Before him, there are players like Mayank Agarwal, Aiden Markram, Heinrich Klaasen, Rahul Tripathi, Abhishek Sharma in this team. However, despite all this, the team's batting lacks the X factor. Meaning, there is no batsman who is a big name or a star whose presence gives assurance of victory.
SRH's bowling has more life than its batting.
Talking about bowling, its leader on the fast attack front will be captain Pat Cummins himself. Apart from them, big names like T. Natarajan, Marco Johnson, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Umran Malik. Apart from this, there are also all-rounders Glenn Phillips and Abdul Samad. The spin department of the team looks a bit weak, where only Mayank Markande and Wanindu Hasaranga look reliable. But overall the team's bowling looks better than its batting. It will be a big challenge for the new captain Pat Cummins to make the right team combination for Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL 2024.
Sunrisers Hyderabad team
Sanveer Singh, Upendra Singh Yadav, Abdul Samad, Mayank Agarwal, Umran Malik, Washington Sundar, Rahul Tripathi, Abhishek Sharma, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Aiden Markram, Marco Johnson, Glenn Phillips, Fazalhaq Farooqui, Heinrich Klaasen, Mayankpre Markande, T. Natarajan, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Pat Cummins, Jaydev Undkat, Travis Head, Wanindu Hasaranga, Akash Singh, J Subramaniam.
