Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) have appointed Varun Aaron as their new bowling coach, replacing James Franklin. This move comes after a disappointing IPL 2025 season where SRH finished sixth despite a strong start.
Aaron, known for his express pace during his playing days, brings a wealth of experience to the SRH coaching staff. He represented India in 9 Tests and 9 ODIs and has an extensive domestic career record.
The former pacer's career was hampered by injuries, but he has recently gained prominence as a cricket expert and commentator. SRH hopes Aaron's expertise will revitalize their bowling attack for the IPL 2026 season.
SRH's 2025 season saw inconsistent performances from both batters and bowlers, leading to a mid-season slump and ultimately missing the playoffs. The team management will be looking to Aaron to address these issues and guide the bowlers to greater success.
