The coming season of the Indian Premier League is a little over two weeks away. The first match of the season is between Chennai and Banglore on the 22nd of this month.
Coming to the topic, a big sentimental factor is coming into play for Sunrisers Hyderabad this time around as Pat Cummins has been announced as the captain of the side today.
Incidentally, Cummins, in his maiden term as the captain won Australia the World Test Championship, and later followed it with the 50-over World Cup Cup win, which is also his maiden season as captain of Australia in the white ball format. It can be seen that Cummins has been winning tournaments in his maiden as the captain of the side.
Now, for the first time, Cummins is captaining SRH and this marks his captaincy debut in the IPL. Going by the rich history of Cummins as captain, will his sentiment of winning the tournament in his first season as captain work out? SRH fans will be hoping the same.
SRH will be facing KKR in their first game of the tournament on the 23rd of March. Incidentally, Cummins, who was previously with KKR will mark the start of his IPL captaincy stint with SRH in this very match.
