IPL 2023, Match 10: SRH Look For Inspiration From New Skipper Aiden Markram To Turn Tables Against LSG

Jolted by a crushing defeat in their campaign opener, Sunrisers Hyderabad will be bolstered by the return of their South African recruits, including new skipper Aiden Markram when they play Lucknow Super Giants in an away IPL match in Lucknow on Friday. In the absence of Markram, Bhuvneshwar Kumar led SRH in their opening game, which they lost by a huge 72 runs against Rajasthan Royals. But in a big boost to the team, Markram and two fellow South Africans -- Marco Jansen and Heinrich Klaasen -- have joined the side after completing their national duty.

Young batter Dhruv Jurel almost took Rajasthan Royals over the finishing line during his team's IPL 2023 match-up against Punjab Kings on Wednesday.

With RR needing 34 runs in the 12 balls, Jurel hit Arshdeep Singh for two fours and a six to bring the equation down to 16 off 6.
