Shikhar Dhawan will lead Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL-VII tournament to be held from April this year. This was announced in a statement released by the team management in Hyderabad on Monday.
“We are pleased to announce the formidable leadership combination of the IPL franchise Sunrisers Hyderabad with Shikhar Dhawan taking the coveted role of the skipper supported by Darren Sammy who will be the vice-captain of the team,” the statement mentioned.
Dhawan with his significant contribution as a batsman in the previous season has retained his position in the team not just as an opener but as the appropriate choice to lead the team.
Sammy was an integral part of the team’s success in the last season and will now support Dhawan.
