Overview
- Cummins, who left after Thursday's 65-run win over KKR, has returned to Australia for a pre-scheduled back scan under Cricket Australia supervision.
- He is expected to rejoin Sunrisers Hyderabad on April 17 if cleared, which rules him out of LSG on April 5, PBKS on April 11, and RR on April 13.
- Ishan Kishan continues as stand-in captain during Cummins' absence.
- SRH's overseas pace remains thin with Eshan Malinga and David Payne leading while Brydon Carse recovers from injury.
- The 32-year-old has played little cricket since July 2025 and said he targeted the back half of the IPL as part of a rehab plan.
