SRH IPL 2023: Luck deserts Agarwal as SRH prefers foreign player as captain for yet another season
David Warner, Kane Williamson, and now Aiden Markram, SRH’s love affair with foreign captains continue. While Warner and Williamson had played IPL for over three years for SRH before getting captaincy, Markram has played only one season for the franchise before being elevated to captaincy. Fans feel it’s not fair on Agarwal, who has loads of captaincy experience leading Karnataka.
One of the users commented “Mayank is better than Aiden Markram. While one of the users commented, “Expected Agarwal, now they have blocked out one foreign spot.”

Aiden Markram will lead Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL 2023 then. Warner, Williamson, and now Markram – all overseas captains. Decision must have been greatly influenced by his SA20 performance, but I would have preferred Mayank Agarwal. #IPL2023

Would have preferred Mayank but okay Markram was the second best choice anyways. https://t.co/6OVtv39wVV

With Markram as captain now, SRH mgmt & fans are always going to be tempted to want Mayank as captain if things go wrong . So there is a big possibility of the team derailing even if they have a pretty good lineup 😂 #SRH #Markram
