    IPL 2026: Abhishek, Ishan In Race To Captain SRH In Initial Games In Pat Cummins’ Absence

    By IANS News March 17, 2026 • 17:05 PM View: 329

    India’s left-handed opener Abhishek Sharma and wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan are in the race to lead Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in their initial matches in their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 campaign, as regular captain Pat Cummins is unavailable as he is still recovering from a back injury.

    SRH, the IPL 2016 winners, will begin their IPL 2026 campaign against defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) at the M, Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on March 28. Cummins has not played competitive cricket since the third Ashes Test in Adelaide in December 2025, after being out of action post the tour of West Indies due to a lumbar bone stress injury in his lower back.
