India opening batsman Shikhar Dhawan was on Monday named
captain of Indian Premier League (IPL) side Sunrisers Hyderabad for the seventh
edition of the cash-rich Twenty20 event beginning on April 16. West Indies’
Darren Sammy will be the vice-captain of the side, Sunrisers Hyderabad said in
a release.
“Shikhar Dhawan with his major contribution as a batsman in
the previous season has retained his position in the team not just as a crucial
opener in the batting order but as the appropriate choice to extend his
captaincy role in Champions League to the upcoming IPL as well,” the release
said.
“Shikhar Dhawan with his reputation for a mesmerising
stroke-maker, who mixes power and panache in equal measure, is sure to lead the
pack with his team-building leadership streak.”
