After 10 days, IPL 2026 will start. Before the start of the first phase of the season, Sunrisers Hyderabad has made a big announcement. Actually, SRH has made Ishan Kishan its new captain due to regular captain Pat Cummins being unfit. He will hold the responsibility of captaincy until Cummins joins the team. The franchise has made this announcement through a social media post.
Many fans will definitely have this question in their mind that why has SRH chosen Ishan as the captain? Why was no other player declared captain? Let us tell you the 3 big reasons due to which Ishan Kishan got the captaincy of SRH.
3 big reasons behind Ishan Kishan getting the captaincy of SRH in IPL 2026
- Ishan is in great form
37 year old Ishan Kishan is in very good form at present. Recently, he had performed brilliantly with the bat in the T20 World Cup 2026. He stood fourth in terms of scoring most runs in the tournament. Ishan had scored 317 runs in 9 matches at an average of 35.22, which included 3 half-centuries. He played a match-winning inning of 77 runs against Pakistan.
- Tremendous record as captain
Even though Ishan Kishan has never captained in the IPL, he has a lot of experience in leading the team in domestic tournaments. Not only this, he also captained the Under-19 World Cup 2016 and helped India reach the finals. India had won 5 out of 6 matches in the World Cup. Last year, in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, Ishan had made Jharkhand win the trophy for the first time under his captaincy. In this event, Jharkhand was successful in winning 8 out of 10 matches.
- The team gets benefit from wicketkeeper being the captain.
If the captain of a team also does wicketkeeping, then it is just icing on the cake. Mahendra Singh Dhoni has also proved this. The keeper is expert in understanding the game well from behind the wickets. From there he keeps an eye on every player and can also guide the bowler as to which bowling he should bowl when.
