Sunrisers Hyderabad have replaced the injured Shivam Mavi with 18-year-old seam bowling all-rounder RS Ambrish for the remainder of Indian Premier League 2026. Mavi, who was bought by SRH for his base price of INR 75 Lakh at the auction in December, has been ruled out due to groin injury.
Ambrish, a right-arm medium pacer and a left-handed batter, was part of Indiaβs triumphant Under-19 World Cup campaign of 2026. He was Indiaβs joint-highest wicket-taker in the Colts tournament, with 11 scalps to his name.
The 2007-born Tamil Nadu cricketer joins a bowling unit brimming with youthful exuberance. SRH have invested in the likes of Praful Hinge (24) and Sakib Hussain (21), who have stepped up swimmingly this season to repose the faith shown by the leadership.
SRH currently occupy the third spot on the table with 12 points, having secured five wins on the bounce. They next host Kolkata Knight Riders in Hyderabad on Sunday, May 3.
