AMIT KUMAR

Amit Kumar is an experienced middle-order anchor who joined Sunrisers Hyderabad for the IPL 2026 season to provide stability to their batting core. A stalwart of Himachal Pradesh cricket, Amit is celebrated for his domestic pedigree, including a legendary unbeaten 119 on his Ranji debut. He was a primary architect of Himachal's 2021/22 Vijay Hazare Trophy victory, where his ability to handle spin and rotate strike proved game-changing. In the current IPL season, he has been utilized as a tactical middle-order batter who can stabilize the innings during a collapse. Despite his limited T20 exposure in previous years, his domestic record of over 3,500 runs makes him a reliable "old-school" batter in the high-octane environment of the IPL.
