IPL 2019: Bhuvneshwar Kumar Likely To Lead Sunrisers Hyderabad

It seems like the fast bowler of Sunrisers Hyderabad Bhuvneshwar Kumar will lead the side in the upcoming few matches of the season. The vice-captain in the previous season attended the pre-tournament photo shoot that took place in Chennai ahead of the tournament opener.

In the photo shoot, all the eight captains need to attend the event and sign the documents, which read that they will play the game in a fair manner. Meanwhile, the missing candidate in the event was Kane Williamson, who was replaced by Bhuvneshwar Kumar.

Perhaps, Bhuvneshwar Kumar will lead the side in the initial few matches as Kane Williamson recently suffered an injury. It was a bit surprising to the fans, as they expected either Kane or David Warner will lead the side.

However, the team management might felt that Warner needs some time, which would have been the key behind Bhuvneshwar Kumar taking the role. Meanwhile, If it is the case, for the first time, it would be 8 Indians leading the teams in Indian Premier League 2019.
