5 May 2026
Sunrisers Hyderabad's IPL 2026 produced internal franchise discussion about whether Ishan Kishan should take over the SRH captaincy from Pat Cummins. The Cummins-Kishan internal debate, reported across cricket media, saw the franchise eventually back Cummins through the season — partly on the strength of his bowling contribution, partly on the difficulty of switching captains mid-tournament.
