For the forthcoming TATA Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) has signed South African all-rounder Wiaan Mulder to replace injured English pacer Brydon Carse. Mulder will join the team for INR 75 lakh, the franchise announced on Wednesday, confirming the change.
Due to an injury, Brydon Carse, who was expected to be a key member of SRH’s pace unit, has been forced to withdraw from the competition. Since the extent of his injury has not yet been determined, the anticipated recuperation time has not been revealed. Hyderabad will suffer greatly from his absence, but Mulder’s addition gives the team a flexible option.
Wiaan Mulder, a 26-year-old all-rounder from South Africa, is renowned for his ability to give out with the bat and the ball. In addition to playing in 18 Test matches, 25 ODIs, and 11 T20Is, he has represented South Africa in all three forms. He has demonstrated his all-round skills during his international career by amassing 970 runs and taking 60 wickets.
Mulder is a huge asset to the SRH team because of his extensive experience playing international cricket, which includes his ability to swing the ball and provide useful middle-order runs. Even if he might not develop Carse’s quickness, the squad could benefit from his skill and accuracy to create movement with the ball.
The depth of SRH’s squad before the 2025 IPL
After making significant roster changes, Sunrisers Hyderabad will be eager to excel in the forthcoming IPL season. They will want to have a significant influence by combining young potential with seasoned players.
Having Wiaan Mulder on the team gives them additional versatility in their playing XI and depth in their all-arounder area.
Fans of SRH will be watching closely to see how Mulder fits into the team’s plans and helps them win the world’s most popular T20 tournament as the IPL 2025 season draws near.
