SRH Fans Rejoice Big Update on Pat Cummins Changes Everything

A positive news has arrived for Sunrisers Hyderabad ahead of their next IPL game. Their skipper, Pat Cummins, went back to Australia for final scans to be clear to play. He is likely to be back to India on 17 April, ready to play for his team yet again.

Sunrisers Hyderabad’s IPL 2026 campaign has been affected due to the injuries. One of the key injuries which the team faced was of their skipper, as Pat Cummins was unfit to play. He has missed out on action since The Ashes, and Ishan Kishan was leading the side in his place for the initial few games.

As per the recent reports, Pat Cummins is likely to be available for Sunrisers Hyderabad from 17 April. He went back to Australia a few days back for his final scans, which will declare whether he is fit or not. The reports also suggest that the Australian captain will be going through a fitness test tomorrow in Australia.

After his fitness test gets completed, the result of the same will be made available to the franchise. Along with that, Pat Cummins will be flying back to India on 17 April to join his team Sunrisers Hyderabad. It comes as a massive boost for SRH, and the team would be hoping that Cummins passes the fitness test.

Our Take

The availability of Pat Cummins remains crucial for Sunrisers Hyderabad in the upcoming matches. Without Cummins, the team's bowling line-up has been affected to a huge extent. Although Praful Hinge and Sakib Hussain were able to do well in the last game, the team still requires an experienced pacer in their line-up. And no one would bring the most experience to their team except Pat Cummins.
