Hyderabad: IPL Sunrisers Hyderabad were shocked before the start. Team captain Pat Cummins was knocked out. He was out of the field from the first match. Necessarily, Ishan Kishan was given the responsibility as his replacement. As the stopgap captain, it was Ishan who led Sunrisers in the last 5 matches. Among them, the team had to win two and lose three matches. Hyderabad have a home match against Chennai Super Kings on April 18. Before that, Cricket Australia made a big statement about Pat Cummins.

Although not on the field, Cummins was in the first few matches with the team. He was also seen talking to the players at various times during practice. Then suddenly he flew to Australia. He was scanned there in Sydney. He had been suffering from a stress injury in his back for several months. However, Cricket Australia has now issued a statement that Cummins has fully recovered. And he is joining the team after returning to India on April 17. That means Cummins will join the team before the CSK match. But the question is, will you play in the eleventh?

Cummins made a post on Instagram on April 15, with that post, the question has arisen in the mind of many people that, then, on April 17 against the Chennai Super Kings, the Auji star will not enter the field in the orange jersey? He hinted in the post that he will play against Royals in Rajasthan on April 25. In that case, even if Cricket Australia gives a ‘fit’ clearance, the chances of getting Cummins against Ruturraj are very low. Auji pacer does not want to hurry back after recovering from injury.

It should be noted that since the Ashes, Auji captain has been completely out of the field. He was not in the T20 World Cup team either. Cummins was in rehab. Mitchell Starc is yet to be given NOC by Cricket Australia. As in the case of Cameron Green, Cricket Australia gave a fit certificate. In the case of Cummins, they gave that clearance. Meanwhile, Praful Hinge and Shakib Hussain, 2 anonymous young pacers caught the eye in the debut match for Sunrisers. Which made the bowling line-up of the team somewhat stronger. Cummins joining the team is sure to add to the balance.
