Who will captain Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL 2026 if Pat Cummins is unavailable? Reports suggest a new leader could step in.
According to reports, Ishan Kishan has emerged as the frontrunner to lead SRH if Cummins misses the start of IPL 2026.
Pat Cummins has not played since the 2025-26 Ashes due to injury, leaving uncertainty over his availability for SRH.
Ishan Kishan impressed in T20 World Cup 2026 and earlier scored 517 runs in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, leading Jharkhand to the title.
The wicketkeeper-batter was also India’s second-highest run-scorer in the T20 World Cup 2026.
Abhishek Sharma could also be a future leadership option for SRH after scoring 923 runs across IPL 2024 and 2025 at a strike rate close to 200.
