Kishan Leads as Cummins Awaits Opportunity

Sunrisers Hyderabad appointed Ishan Kishan as stand-in captain after Pat Cummins’ return was delayed. The change followed Cummins’ setback from injury and left SRH with a leadership gap.

Recent form that influenced the choice

Kishan has been in exceptional T20 form since IPL 2025. He scored 1049 runs across 23 innings, averaging 47.68 and striking at 202.11.

Why Kishan was the natural option

Cummins’ status and what lies ahead

Pat Cummins is still recovering, with his comeback delayed due to injury. The team will reassess when he is fit to return.
