IPL 2024: Pat Cummins To Lead Sunrisers Hyderabad
Pat Cummins, who won the ICC World Test Championship and ICC Cricket World Cup with Aussies last year as a skipper, replaces South African batter Aiden Markram as SRH’s captain.
Pat Cummins had withdrawn from IPL 2023 to focus on international cricket but entered the auction for the 2024 season, where he became the first player in IPL history to get a bid of INR 20 crore (USD 2.4 million approximately).
SRH’s record bid of INR 20.50 crore (USD 2.47 million approximately) for Pat Cummins was shortly broken by Kolkata Knight Riders, who bid INR 24.75 crore (USD 2.98 million approximately) for Mitchell Starc.
