SRH names Pat Cummins as captain for IPL 2024

Cummins replaced South African Aiden Markram, who led SRH in the 2023 season.
"Our new captain Pat Cummins," the SRH said on social media platforms, along with a picture of Cummins.
Cummins has earlier played for Kolkata Knight Riders and Delhi Daredevils in the IPL.
