IPL 2024: Pat Cummins Became The Most Expensive Captains In IPL History

In a surprising move, Australian cricketer Pat Cummins has taken over the captaincy of Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) from Aiden Markram for the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 season. This decision marks a significant change in leadership for the SRH franchise, with Cummins now entrusted with leading the team on the field. It will be intriguing to see how Cummins handles this new role and leads SRH in the highly competitive IPL tournament.

Pat Cummins Became The Most Expensive Captains In IPL History

Pat Cummins brings a notable amount of leadership experience to his new role as captain of Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) for the IPL 2024 season. His captaincy credentials include leading Australia to victory in both the World Test Championship final and the ODI World Cup final, demonstrating his ability to perform under pressure on the international stage.

Moreover, Cummins’ appointment as the captain of SRH also marks him as the most expensive captain in the history of the Indian Premier League (IPL). SRH secured Cummins’ services in the IPL 2024 mini auction by making a record-breaking bid of Rs 20.50 crore. This substantial investment underscores the franchise’s confidence in Cummins’ leadership abilities and his potential to make a significant impact on the team’s performance in the upcoming IPL season.

Here is the list of the most expensive captains in IPL history:

1. Pat Cummins (SRH) – Rs 20.50 crore
2. KL Rahul (LSG) – Rs 17.00 crore
3. Rishabh Pant (DC) – Rs 16.00 crore
4. Hardik Pandya (MI) – Rs 15.00 crore
5. Sanju Samson (RR) – Rs 14.00 crore

In the last two IPL seasons, Aiden Markram led Sunrisers Hyderabad, but the team didn’t perform as expected. They finished 8th in 2022 and 10th in 2023, without showing much improvement.

After David Warner left in 2021, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) tried out four different captains: Kane Williamson, Aiden Markram, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, and now Pat Cummins. Warner, who led SRH to their first IPL title in 2016, left a big gap in leadership when he departed.
