SRH deals with a massive blow

Sundar's exit presents a significant setback to the Sunrisers' aspirations of reaching the playoffs this season. The team, led by Aiden Markram, finds itself at the bottom of the points table with only two victories in their last five matches. Their on-field performances have been unable to match those of several other franchises. Their upcoming league match is against the Delhi Capitals.

Currently, SRH occupies the ninth position in the standings of the 10-team league, having secured two wins and suffered five losses in the seven matches played thus far. No replacement for Sundar has been announced as of yet.
