SRH IPL 2023: Fans angry over Mayank Agarwal not being made captain of Sunrisers Hyderabad…
Social Media Reactions on Mayank Agarwal & SRH:
South African player Aiden Markram has been appointed as the captain of Sunrisers Hyderabad. Originally, Indian batsman Mayank Agarwal was a contender in the Sunrisers Hyderabad captaincy race, but the team management has reposed faith in the South African player. Mayank Agarwal bats brilliantly in Ranji Trophy 2023 season. Meanwhile, under the captaincy of Eden Markram, Sunrisers Eastern Cape won the first season of the South African T20 League. However, Aiden Markram was appointed by Sunrisers Hyderabad ahead of the IPL 2023 season.
Fans raised questions on the team management’s decision
At the same time, Sunrisers Hyderabad fans are not happy about the team management’s decision. In fact, Sunrisers Hyderabad fans believe that Mayank Agarwal is a better captaincy choice instead of Aiden Markram, who should have made the Karnataka batsman the captain of the team. Fans say that after David Warner and Cam Williamson, the team has now made Aiden Markram the captain. This team loves foreign captains.

Aiden Markram will lead Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL 2023. Warner, Williamson and now Markram – all overseas captains. The decision must have been heavily influenced by his SA20 performance, but I prefer Mayank Agarwal. #IPL2023

Now with Markram as captain, SRH mgmt & fans always want Mayank as captain if things go wrong. So even if the team has a good line-up there is a high chance of derailment 😂 #SRH #Markram

‘Injustice done to Mayank Agarwal’
Apart from this, fans say that David Warner and Kane Williamson were associated as players for three seasons before becoming captain, while Aiden Markram became captain after just 1 season. However, social media users say that Mayank Agarwal has more captaincy experience. This player has captained Karnataka for a long time in domestic cricket, but now Sunrisers Hyderabad has not made him the captain of the team, which is unfair for an Indian player.
