Daniel Vettori believes SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) must not select a leadership candidate for Kane Williamson ahead of veteran fast-bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar for Sunday’s dead-rubber IPL 2022 encounter against Punjab Kings (PBKS).

With Williamson out of the scene, it will be intriguing to watch who will captain the team against Punjab Kings on Sunday evening at Wankhede Stadium.

Kane Williamson, who was in charge at the time, was unable to make an impression with the bat or as skipper. Now, that Williamson is no longer accessible, it will be intriguing to see who leads the team against Punjab Kings on Sunday evening at Wankhede Stadium.

Daniel Vettori, a former New Zealand captain, agreed and suggested Bhuvneshwar Kumar as the best contender for the post.

“I believe Bhuvneshwar Kumar is the obvious and correct pick because he has accomplished it before, is a Sunrisers icon, and bowls so brilliantly.”

“I believe he will understand the Sunrisers bowling attack better than anyone else, so it is right if he takes over,” Vettori said during an ESPNCricinfo interview.

Daniel Vettori also expressed his thoughts on Nicholas Pooran:

He also spoke about Nicholas Pooran, who was just appointed West Indies’ white-ball skipper.

“Anyone captaining an international team automatically qualifies as a possible IPL leader.” He bats in the middle order and keeps wickets, which contributes to his leadership abilities.”

“However, I don’t believe that just so he’s not the skipper of this tournament now means he won’t be skipped in the future.” One game is simply about maintaining a strong with the team, and Bhuvi is present,” Daniel Vettori remarked.

In the seventieth match of the Tata IPL season, Sunrisers Hyderabad will face Punjab Kings for the second time.
