SRH officially announces Pat Cummins as their captain for IPL 2024.
The Australian fast bowler was acquired for a staggering 20.5 crore rupees during the IPL 2024 auction, making him the second most expensive player in the history of the tournament. Ahead of his debut for SRH, Cummins expressed his excitement, stating that India feels like a second home to him.
In his inaugural game as captain, Cummins will face his former team Kolkata Knight Riders at the iconic Eden Gardens on March 23, which is part of the first double-header of the 2023 season.
After finishing at the bottom of the table last season, SRH will be looking to Cummins to lead them back into contention for the playoffs this year.
