IPL 2018: Sunrisers Hyderabad appoint Bhuvneshwar Kumar as Vice-Captain

In recent developments from the IPL 2018 season, India’s all-format bowler, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, has been appointed as the Vice-captain of the Sunrisers Hyderabad.

Bhuvi was retained by the SRH franchise before the auctions in January, along with Shikhar Dhawan and former captain David Warner.

Due to the recent incidents in South Africa, David Warner was banned from playing cricket by Cricket Australia, along with Rajasthan Royals captain Steve Smith, who was also retained by Royal’s think tank.

The ongoing ball-tampering row took the world by the storm, and as a result, the ripples of the Sandpaper Gate are now felt in the 11th edition of the highly-anticipated tournament.

Looking at the decision made by Cricket Australia, IPL Chairman Rajeev Shukla confirmed that Steve Smith and David Warner would not be featuring in this edition of the tournament.
