Mumbai Indians is not the only team that will see a new skipper in the IPL 2024. After Hardik Pandya replaced Rohit Sharma as the new MI skipper, now SunRisers Hyderabad will be playing under a new captain too.

Australia's World Cup-winning skipper Pat Cummins was on Monday named captain of Sunrisers Hyderabad for the upcoming Indian Premier League, becoming the fourth player to be handed the responsibility in the last three years.

The 30-year-old pacer was bought by SRH for a whopping Rs 20.50 crore in the IPL auctions in December last year, making him the second-costliest player in the event's history.

He replaced South African Aiden Markram, who led SRH in the 2023 season.

Talking about the change in captaincy, Irfan Pathan, a member of India's T20 World Cup-winning team in 2007, raised some important questions.

"When you talk about leadership, you wouldn't want to think beyond Cummins ideally. Australia just won the World Cup under him; he's performed really well in the last one and a half years. But the problem is that Cummins will look nice overall. However, when it comes to T20 leadership, there's nothing. His performance isn't the greatest in T20 cricket.
