rollicking News: Pat Cummins' Leadership Shines as SRH Struggle
Support from Jaydev Unadkat for Pat Cummins' captaincy amid Sunrisers Hyderabad's challenges in IPL 2025
Despite a tough season for Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Indian Premier League 2025, skipper Pat Cummins has earned praise for his steady leadership. Seamer Jaydev Unadkat lauds Cummins' calm demeanor and clear communication on and off the field as a crucial influence in the dressing room.
The Orange Army currently sits ninth on the points table, with just three wins from ten matches. Their season pales in comparison to their triumphant run in IPL 2024, where they reached the final only to lose to Kolkata Knight Riders by eight wickets despite a strong showing.
Unadkat recognizes the struggle this year and acknowledges the challenges in maintaining momentum. "Our momentum hasn't come our way this season," he says. However, he commends Cummins for continuing to lead by example and maintain open communication with the team.
The Australians’ impact as a communicator has been essential, as he effectively disseminates information to the squad. Despite the losses, Unadkat is confident that Cummins has been instrumental in creating a positive atmosphere within the team.
Recent evidence of Gujarat Titans' dominant performance confirmed this sentiment. GT, unbeaten at their home den, secured a decisive 38-run victory over misfiring SRH, with Sudharsan and Gill setting the tone with an early blitzkrieg, and Buttler aiding with a rollicking 64.
SRH's pursuit of 225 turned into a challenging chase, as they struggled to keep up with the Titans' triumvirate, eventually succumbing to a 38-run defeat.
