Aiden Markram is likely to miss Sunrisers Hyderabad’s first game, so ace Indian bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar will likely lead the team against the Rajasthan Royals in the first game of the season. Bhuvneshwar was seen taking a picture with the other captains before the big tournament.
Aiden Markram, who was named captain of the Orange Army earlier, will take care of national duties as the right-handed batsman plays for South Africa in the two-match ODI series against Netherlands. South Africa‘s spot in the World Cup is at stake, so the team’s management has decided to play a full-strength team against the Netherlands, who beat the Proteas and knocked them out of the 2022 T20 World Cup.
Aiden Markram isn’t there, Bhuvneshwar Kumar is the obvious choice to lead the team, since he has done so before for SRH.
The 33-year-old could lead SRH when the regular captains aren’t there. In 7 games as captain of the Hyderabad-based franchise, Kumar has won two and lost five.
Sunrisers Hyderabad’s first game will be on April 2 against Rajasthan Royals.
In the second afternoon match of the IPL 2023, Sunrisers Hyderabad will play at home against Rajasthan Royals. In the match on April 2, both teams will be trying to win for the first time in the tournament.
Aiden Markram won’t be able to help Sunrisers, and Rajasthan Royals’ key pacer Prasidh Krishna won’t be able to play because he got hurt before the tournament. Sandeep Sharma, a veteran bowler, has been brought in to replace Krishna. Sharma would be eager to impress his new fans on his first game.
Aiden Markram will be back for his team’s second game on April 7 at Lucknow’s Ekana Stadium. On the other hand, Sanju Samson will lead the Rajasthan Royals in their first home game of the season on April 5 at Guwahati.
