Pat Cummins, the premier pacer for Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), has been cleared by Cricket Australia to resume bowling after a lengthy injury layoff. He is expected to return to action as early as Saturday against the Rajasthan Royals. This development raises questions about his leadership role, as Ishan Kishan has been captaining the team during Cummins' absence. Currently, SRH is positioned fourth in the points table with four wins from seven matches, keeping them in contention for the playoffs. Former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag has voiced his support for Cummins to reclaim the captaincy, emphasizing his leadership skills and overall contributions to the team. Sehwag stated, “I think he should be the captain... he is the better captain.” The franchise faces a dilemma not only about leadership but also about team balance, as they will need to decide who Cummins will replace in the playing XI, with options like Madushanka potentially being sidelined.
