Their performance last year was decent, as they finished sixth of the points table. Despite a playing strong matches, they struggled to secure wins consistently. While their batting has never been a concern, their bowling especially in the death overs remains the weak link, failing to perform as expected in previous seasons.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Squad:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Ishan Kishan(C), Abhishek Sharma, Travis Head, Aniket Verma, Smaran Ravichandran, Salil Arora, Heinrich Klaasen, Kamindu Mendis, Harshal Patel, Harsh Dubey, Brydon Carse, Shivang Kumar, Krains Fuletra, Liam Livingstone, Jack Edwards, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Pat Cummins, Zeeshan Ansari, Jaydev Unadkat, Eshan Malinga, Sakib Hussain, Onkar Tarmale, Amit Kumar, Praful Hinge, Shivam Mavi.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Probable XI.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">-Abhishek Sharma, Travis Head, Ishan Kishan(C) (WK), Nitish Kumar Reddy, Heinrich Klaasen, Aniket Verma, Liam Livingstone, Harshal Patel, Jaydev Unadkat, Zeeshan Ansari, Eshan Malinga. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Impact Player:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Shivam Mavi \/ Harsh Dubey\/Brydon Carse<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Injury Update:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> SRH will begin their campaign without Cummins, who is recovering from a back\/stress-related issue and come in the mi after few games so as of now srh hasn\u2019t release any replacement for him.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In Cummins\u2019 absence, Ishan Kishan is expected to lead the side in the early phase, presenting a big opportunity for him to showcase his leadership skills on a big stage. Although he has not previously captained in the IPL, he has led Jharkhand in domestic cricket. SRH has released videos on social media showing practice sessions featuring players like NKR, Harshal Patel, Liam Livingstone, and Jaydev Unadkat, as they aim to finalize the best possible XI, including Ishan, Head,Klassen and Abhishek. With an explosive core and fearless approach, SRH will look to combine entertainment with consistency as they chase another IPL title.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The IPL 2026 season is set to kick off on March 28, with RCB taking on SRH in the opening\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":473,"featured_media":45259,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[3801,692],"class_list":["post-45258","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ipl","tag-ipl","tag-srh"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45258","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/473"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=45258"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45258\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":45338,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45258\/revisions\/45338"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/45259"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=45258"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=45258"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=45258"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
