Sunrisers Hyderabad are one of the most consistent teams in the Indian Premier League and they have a habit of qualifying for the playoffs, more often than not. What really made them one of the top teams is their potential to make use of their available resources to better effect.
However, things really messed up for them in the previous edition of the Indian Premier League. They finished 8th on the league stage points table under the captaincy of Kane Williamson.
Sunrisers Hyderabad team management were not too happy with the performances under Kane Williamson. As a result, they decided not to retain the experienced stalwart in the IPL 2023 mini-auction.
Sunrisers Hyderabad had a very good auction in Kochi as they brought in the right pool of players that suit their philosophy. SRH won their first title under the captaincy of David Warner in the IPL 2016 season.
Aiden Markram has been appointed as SRH skipper
Meanwhile, in the latest development, Sunrisers Hyderabad have appointed Aiden Markram as the new captain of the team. The South African international will be looking forward to doing well as a captain and batsman.
The 28-year-old has played 31 Twenty20 Internationals for the South African cricket team. He scored 879 runs at an average of 38.2 including nine half-centuries. Moreover, he has maintained a strike rate of 147.7.
The 28-year-old cricketer has already played 20 games in the Indian Premier League wherein he scored 527 runs at an average of 40.5, at a strike rate of 134.1. Notably, he smashed three half-centuries in the IPL.
Sunrisers Hyderabad fans will hope that Aiden Markram might produce a spark in the team such that they can make a bid for the second title. Overall, Markram has played 220 T20s in his career, wherein he scored 2770 runs at an average of 34.19 including 1 century and 21 fifties to his name.
Hope they don't regret this decision.
