IPL 2024 SRH Kavya Maran: The Sunrisers Hyderabad team led by Pat Cummins is showing amazing performance in this year’s IPL. The team finished second after the league stage. After this, even though it had to face defeat at the hands of KKR in Qualifier 1, but after this the team will get another chance today. At present, the team is considered a strong contender to win the title. But what happened that such a big change happened in the team. The main reason for this is believed to be the team owner Kavya Maran.
The team placed a big bid on Travis Head
Actually, it is believed and said that teams win half of the IPL at the auction table itself. The team that includes better players in its team has more chances of becoming the champion. In the last 16 years, Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians have done this work well many times, that is why these teams won the IPL trophy 5 times. This time something similar was done by SRH i.e. Sunrisers Hyderabad. It was the time when the auction stage was set and the team owner Kavya Maran was present there. The team made a big hit when the team succeeded in including Travis Head, who had created havoc with the bat in India during the ODI World Cup, in its team.
SRH spent Rs 6.8 crore on Travis Head
SRH acquired a player like Travis Head for Rs 6.8 crore. Although many other teams also bid for him, but finally Kavya Maran and SRH got success. At that time no one would have guessed how big a masterstroke this was, but as the IPL progressed, it became known what Travis Head can do. He has scored 533 runs for his team so far. Also, he is at number four in the list of batsmen who scored the most runs this year. Head has played a huge role in the matches won by SRH. Now if the team has to reach the final and lift the title, then he will have to repeat his performance again.
The team made Pat Cummins its new captain
Apart from this, the team removed Aiden Markram and made Pat Cummins the captain. Earlier in the year 2023, Markram was the captain of the team, but he could not do anything special. But the big thing is that the Sunrisers team playing in SA20 won the title for two consecutive years under the captaincy of Markram. Even after this, removing him from the captaincy was not an easy task. It was believed that only Markram could continue to captain. This was a master stroke, which changed the fortunes of SRH. Whenever Cummins was needed, he came forward and gave wickets to his team. At the same time, Cummins did a good job of telling who to bowl to on the field, where to set the fielding.
SRH has spent Rs 20.5 crore on Cummins
The SRH team had placed a big bet on only two players in this auction. Travis Head 6.8 crores and Pat Cummins 20.5 crores. Apart from this, the team bought all the other small and low-priced players. Even after spending such a huge amount on two players, the team still has more than three crore rupees left in the purse, which will be useful next year. In such a situation, it can be believed that the Hyderabad team had won half of the IPL on the auction table itself, now it is the turn of the players, who have been bought at a high price with expectations. It remains to be seen how the team performs against Rajasthan Royals today.
