Simon Doull Unsure of Pat Cummins’ Role as New Captain for SRH, Questions His Fit in Hyderabad with Rs. 20 Crore Price Tag

If we see the results at the IPL Auction 2024, which is held on Tuesday in Dubai, Pat Cummins is in the second highest place in bidding. Simon Duoll is unsure how the Sunrisers will fit Pat Cummins in their lineup. And Simon questioned whether Pat Cummins would become a skipper.

“Does Pat Cummins take over that franchise?” – Simon Doull

Australian fast bowler Pat Cummins is the best captain who can lead his team to Success. And even recently, in World Cup 2023, he led his team to winning against India.

Sun Risers Hyderabad has bought the Australian fast bowler and ODI skipper Pat Cummins for the price of Rs. 20.50 Crore in the Auction after a competitive bidding war.

With that price it not only made him an expensive player in the IPL history. But also he marked a significant moment. Reviewing the auction on Star Sports, Duoll was asked about the Purchase of Pat Cummins by Sunrisers Hyderabad,

And then he said that,

“Maybe they are looking for a captain. We have joked a little bit about it. Does (Aiden) Markram play every game now? They haven’t announced their skipper.

Does Pat Cummins take over that franchise? Does he come in and play a lot more instead of a (Marco) Jansen next year for them?”

“That’s going to be the question mark. Now that you have paid all this money, you have got to get him into that team. Where does he start and whose place does he take? They have got a lot of high-quality overseas talent,” he added.

Anyway, till now there has been no clarity about the skipper change for SRH. But SRH Coach Daniel Vettori has given a hint that there is a chance for Pat Cummins to be a captain.

Even Cummins expressed eagerness to join the ‘Orange Army’ and contribute to their success. If you see the batters list in the Sunrisers Hyderabad, are Head, Aiden Markram, Heinrich Klaasen, and Glenn Phillips.

Former SRH head coach has said that Travis’s head is going to be the opener in the match.
