Sunrisers Hyderabad captain Pat Cummins will miss the first few matches of the IPL 2026. The pacer is currently recovering from a back injury, for which he featured in only one of the Ashes Tests and was ruled out of the T20 World Cup 2026. Currently, his fitness status hasn’t been shared by Cricket Australia or Hyderabad management, but in all likelihood, the pacer will miss a few games to start with.
