Shikhar Dhawan to captain SunRisers Hyderabad in IPL 2014

Shikhar Dhawan

The IPL excitement is snowballing with every imperative call taken for the 7th edition of Indian Premier League scheduled to kickstart from April 16th 2014. We’re pleased to announce the formidable leadership team of the IPL franchise SunRisers Hyderabad with Shikhar Dhawan taking the coveted role of the skipper and befittingly supported by Darren Sammy who will spearhead as the Vice-Captain of the team.

Shikhar Dhawan with his significant contribution as a batsman in the previous season has retained his position in the team not just as a crucial opener in the batting order but as the appropriate choice to extend his captaincy role in Champions League to the upcoming IPL as well. Shikhar Dhawan with his reputation for a mesmerising stroke-maker, who mixes power and panache in equal measure, is sure to lead the pack with his team-building leadership streak.

Darren Sammy was an integral part of the team’s success in the last season and will now ably support Shikhar Dhawan with his impressive contribution with both the bat and the ball. In top form as a right-handed batsman and a fast-medium bowler, Darren Sammy’s experience in the sport as an all-rounder, as West Indies captain of the ongoing T20 World cricket and his consecutive association with the franchise promises to lead the players as a team all the way up to the playoffs as in the previous season.

We wish both the talented players the very best in their new role as captain and vice-captain of SunRisers Hyderabad in steering this season with their combined leadership qualities and team-driven approach to a winning cause.
