Sunrisers Hyderabad head into IPL 2026 with a fast-bowling unit that combines international pedigree, IPL experience and developing domestic talent. While SRH’s batting firepower often grabs headlines, their pace attack will be key to translating potential into consistent results this season.
Pat Cummins remains the standout fast bowler for Sunrisers Hyderabad. The Australian captain brings leadership, control and big-match temperament. Cummins’ ability to strike early with the new ball and return for impactful spells later in the innings makes him SRH’s most reliable pace option.
Harshal Patel continues to be a crucial part of SRH’s bowling plans. Known for his deceptive slower balls and variations, Harshal excels in the middle and death overs. With over 150 IPL wickets to his name and a strong IPL 2025 season behind him, he offers both experience and wicket-taking ability.
Jaydev Unadkat has emerged as a dependable Indian pacer for SRH. After picking up 11 wickets in just seven matches last season, Unadkat’s cutters and disciplined lines make him particularly effective on slower surfaces.
Brydon Carse adds pace, bounce and aggression to the lineup. Often used as an Impact Player, Carse provides SRH with a wicket-taking option who can unsettle batters with hard lengths and extra bounce.
Eshan Malinga strengthens SRH’s pace depth. While still early in his IPL journey, he offers raw pace and flexibility, giving the team additional options across a long tournament.
With Pat Cummins leading the attack and strong support from Harshal Patel and Jaydev Unadkat, Sunrisers Hyderabad enter IPL 2026 with a fast-bowling group capable of delivering impact across conditions and match situations.
