'I was quite shocked': Ashwin reacts to Sunrisers handing captaincy to Pat Cummins from Markram for IPL 2024
India TV NewsSunrisers Hyderabad named Australian Test and ODI skipper Pat Cummins as their skipper ahead of the 2024 edition of the IPL. However, Aiden Markram, who led the franchise last year, did all things in his control to stay as captain leading Sunrisers' satellite side in SA20 Eastern Cape to a second consecutive title and it looked like the 2016 champions could have been swayed by the same but it wasn't to be. Analysing each of the 10 franchises on his YouTube channel, senior Indian off-spinner R Ashwin was quite shocked by the decision from SRH because Markram in limited opportunities as skipper has done well even though his outing in the IPL last year didn't go as planned. However, Ashwin did say that even though Cummins was a no-brainer if they weren't going to stick with Markram, choosing four overseas stars will be a huge problem for the Orange Army.
