Two Aussie stars remain unfit, leaving fans in a frenzy ahead of IPL action.
Let’s not sugarcoat it: RCB and SRH are staring down the barrel as both Josh Hazlewood and Pat Cummins sit out the opening games of IPL 2026. With Cricket Australia not giving them the green light, these teams are missing out on serious firepower. Talk about a pie chucker’s dream!
Hazlewood’s been nursing those pesky injuries, while Cummins’ rehab is dragging on like a village side’s run chase. Both players bring a truckload of experience and skill, and their absence is like a jaffa that’s left the batsmen feeling a bit too comfortable.
Fans are biting their nails, wondering how the sides will cope without their ace bowlers. Can RCB and SRH pull off a miracle in their first few matches? Or will they find themselves in a right pickle? Only time will tell!
