It’s anticipated that the IPL 2023 season will begin in the middle of March or in April. Franchises built new teams and prepared for the forthcoming season. Sam Curran, Ben Stokes, Camron Green, Harry Brook, and Nicholas Pooran all bid for astronomical sums in the big auction.

Speaking about the Sunrisers Hyderabad, the SRH franchise surprised many cricket observers by purchasing Harry Brook for Rs 13.25 crores and Mayank Agarwal for Rs 8.25 crores.

Kane Williamson, the team captain, and Nicholas Pooran, a player from the West Indies, were let go by SRH prior to the mini-auction. The SRH team must reveal its captain.

Let’s have a look at 3 players who can captain SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) in IPL 2023:

Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who has already led Hyderabad, is capable of doing so once more. In fact, he led the Orange Army in the final contest of the 2022 campaign. And it might not be shocking if the team assigns him skipper duties.

Because he has spent a lot of time in the franchise and is familiar with everything, the pacer will be the option that is the most secure. He has also served SRH as vice-captain for a number of years, so the moment seems right for him to step up and take the club to victory.

Due to the manner he performs in white-ball cricket, South African middle-order batsman Aiden Markram can be chosen to replace Kane Williamson.

The 28-year-old performed admirably for Hyderabad the season before, scoring 381 runs in 14 matches. With a strike rate of 139.05. Markram solidified himself as a pillar in the middle order. He consistently backed up his skills and had enough confidence throughout the season to significantly excite the fans.

His 50 against India in the Super 12 stage demonstrated how advanced he has become as a player, despite his T20 World Cup performance is only passable.

Mayank Agarwal

Mayank Agarwal, who was let go by PBKS, will be another candidate for captaincy for SRH. Importantly, Agarwal offers an aggressive opening option, which they lacked with Kane Williamson at the top of the lineup the previous year.

With his vast knowledge, Agarwal may be an excellent addition to Abhishek Sharma at top of the innings. Punjab decided to release Agarwal after he had one poor season at the plate.

Only 196 runs were scored by the right-handed batsman in 13 games, reflecting dismal performances. In the previous season, he moved down the lineup to make room for other top-order batters. However, SRH may benefit from it because there are many opportunities for growth.
