Pat Cummins to Miss CSK Clash, Targeting April 25 Return

Pat Cummins is a no-show for Sunrisers Hyderabad's upcoming clash against Chennai Super Kings. After completing his back scans in Sydney, he’s been given the green light by Cricket Australia but isn't ready to hit the pitch just yet. SRH head coach Daniel Vettori confirmed that the plan is for Cummins to return for the away game against Rajasthan Royals on April 25.

This is a significant blow for SRH as they look to bounce back against CSK. Cummins' absence means Ishan Kishan will continue to lead the side, having stepped in as interim skipper during Cummins’ recovery. The pace attack has faced challenges, but youngsters Praful Hinge and Sakib Hussain have shown promise, picking up crucial wickets recently.

Cummins has expressed his determination to return strong, stating he's back to bowling every third day and aiming to be match-fit for the latter part of the tournament. With eight matches left, his presence could be pivotal for SRH as they chase a playoff spot. Get ready for a Cummins comeback that could shake things up!
