SRH Signs Teen All-Rounder After Mavi Injury
1 May
Summary
- RS Ambrish replaces injured Shivam Mavi for IPL 2026.
- Ambrish was part of India's triumphant U-19 World Cup squad.
- Sunrisers Hyderabad are third in the standings with five wins.
Sunrisers Hyderabad has announced a player change for the ongoing IPL 2026 season. Eighteen-year-old seam-bowling all-rounder RS Ambrish has been signed to replace the injured Shivam Mavi. Mavi, who was acquired by SRH for INR 75 Lakh at the recent auction, has been ruled out for the rest of the tournament due to a groin injury.
Ambrish, a right-handed batter and right-arm medium pacer, was a significant contributor to India's Under-19 World Cup triumph earlier in 2026. He was notably India's joint-highest wicket-taker at the event, securing 11 wickets.
The young cricketer from Tamil Nadu joins an already vibrant SRH bowling unit that features other promising talents like Praful Hinge, aged 24, and Sakib Hussain, aged 21. These bowlers have effectively stepped up for the team this season.
Sunrisers Hyderabad is currently in a strong position, occupying third place in the league standings with 12 points. They have achieved an impressive streak of five consecutive victories. Their next fixture is scheduled to be held in Hyderabad against the Kolkata Knight Riders on Sunday, May 3.
