IPL 2025 saw Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) have a depressing season, eventually placing at the very bottom of the points table. Almost guaranteed that major changes would follow from their poor performance all through the season.
With Season 18 behind them, Kavya Maran, despite her viral IPL reactions, started a reorganization plan. Amid the continuous Test series between India and England, SRH announced the hiring of their new bowling coach, a former cricketer now working in the commentary booth in England.
James Franklin was named fast-bowling coach for the Sunrisers Hyderabad after legendary pacer Dale Steyn quit. Franklin’s time in office, nevertheless, failed to deliver the predicted outcomes, therefore necessitating yet another transition. Former Indian bowler Varun Aaron has been chosen by Sunrisers Hyderabad as their new Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 bowling coach.
Aaron is interestingly now in England, commentating for the Test series between India and England. SRH’s announcement came during the Lord’s Test match while he was still on air.
Varun Aaron has enthralled fans and experts alike with his sharp cricketing ideas and tactical know-how, even in light of his commentary vows. He will work closely with captain Pat Cummins to perfect the SRH bowling plan in the approaching IPL season.
Having played for six different teams, Royal Challengers Bangalore, Delhi Daredevils, Kings XI Punjab, Kolkata Knight Riders, Rajasthan Royals, and Gujarat Titans, Varun Aaron has enjoyed an illustrious IPL career. According to Varun Aaron’s scorecard, he has played 9 Test matches and 9 ODIs on the world scene. Having played 52 games in the IPL, he has 44 wickets overall. He last played in the league during the 2022 campaign.
Optimistic about regaining their status as championship contenders in IPL 2026, Sunrisers Hyderabad think Varun Aaron’s great experience in domestic as well as international cricket could provide the vital edge SRH needs.
