Former India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh has criticised Sunrisers Hyderabad for overlooking Abhishek Sharma for captaincy in IPL 2026, drawing parallels with how MS Dhoni was once promoted over him. Despite Abhishek’s long association and consistent performances, SRH appointed Ishan Kishan as stand-in skipper in the absence of injured Pat Cummins. Yuvraj, who mentors Abhishek, said such decisions can impact a player’s mindset and sense of belonging. He highlighted Abhishek’s loyalty and leadership experience, questioning why a long-serving player was sidelined for a newer entrant. (PC: AP & AFP)
