Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) named Australian Test and ODI skipper Pat Cummins as their skipper ahead of the 2024 edition of the IPL. While it was an expected call given that SRH went as far as splurging INR 20.5 crore on him. However, Aiden Markram, who led the franchise last year, did all things in his control to stay as captain leading Sunrisers’ satellite side in SA20 Eastern Cape to a second consecutive title and it looked like the 2016 champions could have been swayed by the same but it wasn’t to be.
