After appointing Kane Williamson as their new skipper for the upcoming edition of Indian Premier League (IPL), Sunrisers Hyderabad have now appointed Bhuvneshwar Kumar as the vice-captain. The 28-year old pacer is one of the most consistent performers for Sunrisers and has been the go-to man for the franchise in all conditions. He has the ability to bowl brilliantly at the start of the innings and has been equally impressive at the death as well.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are happy to announce that Bhuvneshwar Kumar will be the vice-captain of SunRisers Hyderabad for IPL 2018\u201d \u2013 K. Shanmugam, CEO, SunRisers Hyderabad. Interestingly, Bhuvneshwar had also won the prestigious Purple Cap (most wickets in a single season) in the last two editions of the IPL – 2016 (23 wickets) and 2017 (26 wickets).<\/p>\n
Earlier on Thursday, New Zealand skipper replaced Australia’s David Warner as the captain of the ‘Orange Army’. The decision comes in the wake of the recent ball-tampering controversy that led to bans for David Warner and Steven Smith from the 11th edition of IPL.<\/p>\n
“I’ve accepted the role to stand in as captain for this season,” Williamson was quoted as saying by SRH on Twitter. “It’s an exciting opportunity with a talented group of players. I look forward to the challenges ahead.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
