IPL 2023: Ace Indian bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar is likely to captain Sunrisers Hyderabad in the season opener against Rajasthan Royals since Aiden Markram is expected to miss it. Before the mega-tournament, Bhuvneshwar could be seen posing for the all-captain picture.
As the right-handed batsman for South Africa in the two-match ODI series against the Netherlands, Aiden Markram, who was previously named the Orange Army’s captain, would be in charge of national duties. The management has chosen to field a full squad against the Netherlands because South Africa’s chances of qualifying for the World Cup are at stake. The Netherlands had previously defeated the Proteas in the 2022 T20 World Cup, knocking them out of the competition.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who previously led the team for SRH, emerges as the natural choice to head the team in Markram’s absence. In the absence of the regular skippers, the 33-year-old could be seen guiding SRH. In his seven matches as the Hyderabad franchise’s captain, Kumar had two victories and five defeats.
On April 2, Sunrisers Hyderabad will take on Rajasthan Royals in their inaugural game.
Sunrisers Hyderabad will play Rajasthan Royals at their home stadium in Hyderabad in the second-afternoon match of the IPL 2023. The game, which will be contested on April 2, will see both sides attempting to record their first victories of the competition.
While Rajasthan Royals will be without their important pacer Prasidh Krishna because he was forced to withdraw from the competition due to injury, Sunrisers will be without the services of Markram. Sandeep Sharma, a seasoned bowler who has been brought in as Krishna’s substitute, is eager to win over his new fans right once.
The Rajasthan Royals, led by Sanju Samson, will travel to Guwahati on April 5 for their season-opening home encounter, while Markram will return for his team’s second game on April 7 at Lucknow’s Ekana Stadium.
