Indian Premier League 2024: India and Rajasthan Royals (RR) off-spinner R Ashwin (R Ashwin) has replaced Aiden Markram with Pat Cummins (Pat CumminsExpressed surprise at Sunrisers Hyderabad’s (SRH) decision to appoint ) as captain.

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) had signed Pat Cummins for Rs 20.50 crore in the IPL 2024 mini-auction and then they appointed the Australian captain as their new captain by replacing Aiden Markram a few weeks ago. .

The decision to make Pat Cummins the captain is easy: R Ashwin

Meanwhile, R Ashwin said that he is surprised by this decision of Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). Ashwin argued that SRH should have retained Aiden Markram as their captain, especially given his success in leading Sunrisers Eastern Cape to back-to-back titles in the SA20, as Pat Cummins is yet to lead a T20 team , even though his record in Test and ODI cricket is excellent.

R Ashwin said on his YouTube channel: “Sunrisers have won two consecutive SA20 titles. He has achieved this success with two exceptional teams. Actually, I was quite surprised when they made Pat Cummins the captain. I had some hope that they would go ahead with Aiden Markram. Markram’s captaincy in SA20 has been excellent. It is easy to take the decision to make Pat Cummins the captain.

“There will be problem in making team combination”

But with Cummins as the captain, SRH will face problems in making a team combination with so many stars. Keeping Travis Head as the backup, they will choose Markram, Pat Cummins, Heinrich Klaasen and Wanindu Hasaranga.

Because Hasaranga is a very important player for them. If they decide that they do not need Hasaranga, then in some places they can play Fazalhaq Faruqui or Marco Janssen in place of the Sri Lankan spinner. That’s what I think.”
