The captain of the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) for the IPL 2024 season is Pat Cummins. Pat Cummins, the Australian World Cup-winning captain, was announced as the new skipper for SRH in March 2024, replacing Aiden Markram.
Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) had a forgettable season in IPL 2023 as they finished last at the points table with four wins from 14 games. Now, SRH will be looking to perform better in IPL 2024 and become champions for the second time. South Africa batter Aiden Markram will continue his role as the skipper in the upcoming season.
Markram was appointed as the captain of SRH for IPL 2023 after he led Sunrisers Eastern Cape to the title in the inaugural season of the South Africa T20 League (SA20) in 2023, but he couldn’t repeat the same for SRH in the IPL, as they failed to make it into the playoffs despite having a strong squad. Despite this, Markram is likely to continue as the SRH skipper in the upcoming season.
