IPL 2023: Top Three Contenders for Vice-Captaincy of SRH

As Sunrisers Hyderabad names Aiden Markram as their captain for the upcoming IPL season, the selection of vice-captain is crucial. With several Indian players in the mix, here are three top contenders for the role.

As the IPL 2023 draws closer, Sunrisers Hyderabad has named Aiden Markram as their captain, a decision that has received mixed reactions from fans and experts alike. However, as an overseas player captains the team, the franchise needs a strong Indian vice-captain to provide support and leadership on and off the field.

Here are the top three candidates for the vice-captaincy role for SRH in the upcoming IPL season:

1) Mayank Agarwal

The seasoned IPL player was bought by SRH for a whopping ₹8.25 Crore in the 2023 IPL Auction after he was released by Punjab Kings. Having previously captained Punjab Kings in IPL 2022, Agarwal has the experience and leadership skills required to support Markram as the team’s vice-captain.
