The World Cup-winning captain as the captain of Sunrisers..!?
Not too great.. Nothing too bad... Sunrisers hyderabad (SRH) reigned supreme in the indian Premier League (IPL). The title was won in the second season of the league in 2009 when Deccan Chargers was Hyderabad. However, the franchise changed hands later due to various reasons. The name also changed to Sunrisers. In 2016, it became the winner once again. For 16 seasons, royal challengers Bangalore (RCB), which has a star batsman like virat kohli and a great player like de Villiers, did not become champions even once. Sunrisers have achieved a feat that was not possible for delhi and Punjab. Such a team is entering the ring with a change of captain this time. The new captain is also not an ordinary one.
Does the title match? Sunrisers has a special fan following. The last time it won was in 2016. Then in 2018, it settled with the runner-up. The show has been nothing short of spectacular since the last two seasons. But, for the season which starts on the 22nd of this month, australia is entering the ring under the captaincy of Pat Cummins. It is known that Cummins made australia the winner in the recent ODI world cup held in India. australia lost three consecutive ODIs in the series against south africa and the first two matches in a row in the ODI World Cup. But, later won 9 matches and won the cup. There is no doubt that it was Cummins' leadership that made the Kangaroos champions again when the team was at its worst.
Cummins also bowled well in the world cup final. Seeing all this, Sunrisers chose him as the captain for the next season and bought him in the auction for Rs. 20.5 crores. It is remarkable that Sunrisers bought him for ten times more money, which was auctioned at the initial price of Rs.2 crores. This is a price that even Cummins didn't expect. Earlier, kolkata Knight Riders took him for more than Rs.10 crores, but he left with injuries. But this time he is fit. Meanwhile, as expected, Sunrisers hyderabad announced Cummins as their captain. Last season, South African batsman Mark Rum acted as the captain of Hyderabad. Earlier, Australian opener David Warner and Kiwis star batsman Williamson saw these duties.
