Pat Cummins' injury raises questions for SRH’s leadership in IPL 2025; potential captains revealed.

If Pat Cummins misses the start of IPL 2025 due to injury, who will lead Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH)? In Cummins' absence, the best option for the captaincy is Abhishek Sharma. While he doesn't have much leadership experience, the 24-year-old has already captained his state team, Punjab, in all formats. In his last 7 matches, he scored 365 runs at an average of 52.14 and an incredible SR of 214.70.

Another candidate is Heinrich Klaasen, an experienced player who has previously captained South Africa in T20Is. His form is impressive: he scored 426 runs at an average of 71.00 and a SR of 126.03. Klaasen also has leadership ambitions, making him a strong contender for the SRH captaincy.
