**Hyderabad, India** – Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) captain Pat Cummins cemented his place in IPL history, leading his team to a dominant victory over Rajasthan Royals in their opening match of IPL 2025. This win marked Cummins’ 10th as SRH captain in just 17 matches, placing him among the fastest to achieve this milestone in IPL history.
Cummins’ impressive feat puts him in elite company, surpassing several legendary IPL captains including Virat Kohli, MS Dhoni, and Gautam Gambhir. While several captains reached 10 wins in 17 or 18 matches, Cummins’ achievement is particularly noteworthy given the competitive nature of the league. Only Steve Smith (15 matches) and Hardik Pandya (14 matches) reached the 10-win mark faster.
The SRH’s strong start builds on their successful 2024 season. The team’s performance suggests a promising campaign ahead. The article also teased an upcoming segment on the fastest IPL centuries scored by Indian batsmen.
