SRH vs DC: Missing Aussie Stars, New Captains!
21 Apr
Summary
- Australian pace bowlers Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc will be absent.
- Sunrisers Hyderabad's skipper Pat Cummins is unlikely to play.
- Delhi Capitals captain Axar Patel may be available despite injury.
Sunrisers Hyderabad and Delhi Capitals are set to clash in an IPL 2026 match, but both teams will be without their prominent Australian pace bowlers, Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc. Cummins, who is the regular skipper for SRH, is unlikely to feature in the upcoming game, with Ishan Kishan expected to lead the side. This absence places additional bowling pressure on players like Nitish Kumar Reddy.
For Delhi Capitals, captain Axar Patel had to retire hurt in their previous match due to muscle cramps. However, head coach Hemang Badani indicated that Patel should be available to lead the team. The team is also considering batting order changes, with uncertainty around the number three position due to Nitish Rana's absence. Karun Nair and Ashutosh Sharma are contenders for this spot.
