Sunrisers Hyderabad all-rounder Jack Edwards has been ruled out of IPL 2026 after being signed for INR 3 crore. The Australian has played 77 T20s, scoring 853 runs and taking 52 wickets. Captain Pat Cummins is also set to miss early matches due to injury.

As the cricket fans start the countdown of the IPL 2026, the Sunrisers Hyderabad have been hit with a major news regarding their star all-rounder Jack Edwards, who has been ruled out of the tournament following an injury. Being an Australian player, the Hyderabad franchise signed him for a whopping amount of INR 3 Crore and expected him to be one of the impactful overseas players in the upcoming season.

However, with the All-Rounder being ruled out, the Sunrisers Hyderabad will be looking forward to the replacement that they might introduce for him. In the 77 T20 Matches played by Jack, he managed to score 853 runs while having an average of 16.09 and a strike rate of 121.50. Even with the ball, Jack Edwards was quite handy as he picked 52 wickets with a bowling average of 23.84 and an economy rate of 8.32.

With the news of Jack Edwards being ruled out, the Sunrisers Hyderabad will be dealing with another blow after their Captain, Pat Cummins, was ruled out of the first few matches of the tournament. With their captain being ruled out, the franchise announced Ishan Kishan as their interim captain, while Abhishek Sharma has been given the vice-captaincy duties for the season. Following this, social media has reacted to this news in a mixed manner. Let’s watch some of the best tweets from the fans.
