SRH Captain: The wait is finally over. 2016 IPL Champions Sunrisers Hyderabad have named South African all-rounder Aiden Markram as the captain for the upcoming season.

SRH Captain: Aiden Markram
Aiden Markram is one of the best T20 all-rounders going around. He has been in the international circuit for quite some time now and is the only SA captain to win an ICC event. Markram was at the helm of things when South Africa won their only U19 World Cup in UAE in the year 2014. Besides leading SA to U19 World Cup title, Markram also led Sunrisers Eastern Cape in the inaugural SA20 earlier this month.
