AB de Villiers and Aiden Markram
There are not many days left for the 17th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) to start. The first match on March 22 will be played between defending champions Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore. The Sunrisers Hyderabad team, which performed very shamefully last season, will play under the leadership of new captain Pat Cummins in the upcoming season. Hyderabad franchise has recently decided to remove Aiden Markram from the captaincy and appointed Cummins as the new captain. Now former South African captain and veteran batsman AB de Villiers has expressed his unhappiness regarding this decision, in which he has cited the appointment of Daniel Vettori as the coach as the reason behind this decision.
Aiden Markram should have been given a little more time
Regarding the removal of Aiden Markram from the captaincy, AB de Villiers said on his YouTube channel that there is a reason behind making Pat Cummins the captain of the team, whereas many people must have been shocked to hear this decision. As captain in the South Africa T20 League, Markram has made his team win the tournament twice in a row. From this we can get an idea of ​​his leadership and that is why for the South African fans and me, his removal from the captaincy is definitely a disappointing decision. I think he should have been given a season in the IPL and the responsibility of captaincy to prove himself.
This is not a very shocking decision for me
Regarding the decision to remove Aiden Markram from the responsibility of captaincy, AB de Villiers further said in his statement that for me this is not a very shocking decision because I also see the role of the team’s new coach Daniel Vettori in this, who is currently the Australian team. Apart from this, you can also see some role of Andrew McDonald in this decision. Let us tell you that Sunrisers Hyderabad team will play its first match in the 17th season of IPL on March 23 against Kolkata Knight Riders at the Eden Gardens ground.
