After RCB, Sunrisers Hyderabad can also announce their new captain soon, After Pat Cummins’s exit, Kavya Maran can hand over the team’s command to the experienced Indian Captain.
Pat Cummins: Before the Indian Premier League 2025, Royal Challengers Bangalore has announced the new captain Rajat Patidar. After Faf du Plessis, Rajat Patidar has now been given the important responsibility of winning the title. At the same time, now Sunrisers Hyderabad can also announce the name of its new captain soon. Before the IPL starts on March 21, SRH captain Pat Cummins is suffering from an ankle injury and it seems very difficult for him to play in the IPL this time, after which Kavya Maran can make the Indian veteran the new captain of the team.
This player will get the captaincy
If Pat Cummins fails to get fit before IPL 2025, then Jaydev Unadkat can become a strong contender for captaincy. Unadkat never got a chance to captain in the IPL, but he has been captaining his domestic team Saurashtra for a long time. Unadkat has captained Saurashtra in 50 T20 matches, out of which he has won 32, while he has faced defeat in 18.
His win percentage in T20 is 64. Apart from this, he has also captained Saurashtra in 49 List A matches, in which he has won 28 and lost 21 with a win percentage of 57.14 percent. At the same time, he has also captained his domestic team in 41 first-class matches, out of which he has won 18 and lost 10, while 13 matches ended in a draw.
Jaydev will get you the title!
Saurashtra won the Ranji Trophy title in the year 2023 under the captaincy of Jaydev Unadkat. The team led by Jaydev defeated a strong team like Bengal in the final. Star-studded Bengal was defeated by Jaydev-led Saurashtra by 9 wickets, while Saurashtra won the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2022-23 title. At that time too, Jaydev Unadkat was the captain of Saurashtra.
Saurashtra defeated Maharashtra by 5 wickets in the final. If Pat Cummins is not fully fit before IPL 2025, then Jaydev Unadkat can be made the captain of Sunrisers Hyderabad this time due to his strong statistics. In the absence of Pat Cummins, Kavya Maran can give this experienced captain a chance to lead the team this year.
