Having led Sunrisers franchise Eastern Cape to the title in the inaugural SA20 league, Markaram stands a solid chance of becoming the new captain.
After releasing Kane Williamson ahead of the auction, the Hyderabad franchise is without a captain. Williamson led the orange army in 2018 in Warner’s absence and also in 2022 when SRH axed Warner. The Australian opener had led the SRH side to their maiden IPL title in 2016.
