SRH vs RR: Why is Aiden Markram Not Playing Today’s IPL 2023 Match? Who is SRH Captain?

The massive breaking news coming from the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) camp is that their captain Aiden Markram is not available for selection in their first match of Indian Premier League (IPL 2023) against the Rajasthan Royals (RR) being played at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad. After having finished at the eighth position on the points table during IPL 2022, the Sunrisers Hyderabad have made a lot of changes to their playing combination for this IPL 2023 season by making some impressive buys in the auction.

It will be a big blow for the Sunrisers Hyderabad as their newly appointed captain Aiden Markram is currently on national duty and thus, he is unavailable for the SRH vs RR IPL 2023 match on Sunday. He is part of the South African ODI team playing the ongoing ODI series against Netherlands and will only be available in IPL 2023 after 2 April, 2023. While playing in his first IPL season for the Sunrisers Hyderabad, Markram scored an impressive total of 381 runs from as many as 14 matches at a fine strike-rate of close to 140 that included 3 half-centuries. Aiden Markram then captained the Sunrisers Eastern Cape towards a fabulous SA20 title victory which forced the Sunrisers Hyderabad to also appoint him as the SRH captain for IPL 2023. However, in his absence, experienced right-arm pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar will lead the Sunrisers Hyderabad against Rajasthan Royals on Sunday.
