IPL 2023: Bhuvneshwar Kumar To Lead Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Rajasthan Royals

Since the right-handed batsman will be representing South Africa in the two-match ODI series against the Netherlands. Aiden Markram, who was previously named the Orange Army’s captain, will be in charge of national duties.
