On Monday, the star cricketer of team Australia, Pat Cummins, who successfully led his team towards victory against India in the ICC ODI World Cup 2023, was appointed as the captain of the Sunrisers Hyderabad for the upcoming Indian Premier League 2024 season. Sunrisers ended last season on a disappointing note, occupying the bottom position in the IPL 2023 Points Table with only four wins out of the 14 matches played last season.

Using its official social media accounts, the team announced the hiring and posted a photo of Cummins with the hashtag "#OrangeArmy!" Our new captain, Pat Cummins, became the second most expensive player in league history after Sunrisers paid an astounding Rs 20.5 crore for him. This transaction occurred during the most recent IPL 2024 auction.

Apart from Cummins, SRH also boasts two other overseas talents: Australian star batter Travis Head and Sri Lankan spinner Wanindu Hasaranga. Significantly, the franchise has decided to make a notable change by replacing West Indian great Brian Lara as head coach with New Zealand legend Daniel Vettori.
