As the IPL season approaches, Indian batting legend Sunil Gavaskar has made a bold prediction about a potential change in leadership at SRH. Last year, the team was led by South African Aiden Markram. Gavaskar suggests that Cummins, who led Australia to a record-extending sixth ODI World Cup title, could replace Markram as the skipper.
I think Pat Cummins was a smart buy, maybe a little over-expensive. Smart buy because he will bring the leadership aspect to their team, which was lacking the last time around,”
said Gavaskar on Star Sports.
Last time around, some of the bowling changes that we saw in crucial games were just head-scratching, and that cost them matches. So now with Pat Cummins coming in, I am pretty certain that he will be the captain of the team and that will make a huge difference,”
he added.
Sunrisers Hyderabad also added Travis Head, the player of the final at the 2023 ODI World Cup, to their squad. more about Pat Cummins Set to Captain Sunrisers Hyderabad.
Gavaskar feels Head is the ‘ideal no. 1’ in T20s.“Travis Head is the kind of batter who can take the game away from you. He did that in the World Cup finals. He is just the ideal No. 1 in a 20-overs game for the SunRisers Hyderabad,”
said Gavaskar.
So, he and whoever opens with him, whether it’s Mayank Agarwal or whether it’s Rahul Tripathi, who started as an opener and then went in the middle, if he comes in the opening slot again, then it will be entertaining batting for sure,”
he added.
