With just two weeks left for IPL 2025, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) has made a major change to its squad. England's fast bowler Brydon Carse has been ruled out of the tournament due to injury, and South African all-rounder Wiaan Mulder has been named as his replacement. Mulder, known for his pace bowling and batting abilities, has been signed for ₹75 lakh for the upcoming season.

Brydon Carse Injured During Champions Trophy 2025

Brydon Carse suffered an injury during the Champions Trophy 2025 while playing against Australia. He injured his toe, which forced him to withdraw from the tournament. This was not the first time he faced fitness concerns, as he also struggled with form and injuries during the white-ball series against India. In the match against Australia, he conceded 69 runs in just 7 overs, which further highlighted his struggles.

SRH Bought Carse for ₹1 Crore in IPL 2025 Auction

During the IPL 2025 mega auction, Sunrisers Hyderabad secured Brydon Carse for ₹1 crore. His T20 record has been impressive, with 53 wickets and 783 runs, including two half-centuries. His absence is undoubtedly a major blow for SRH.

Wiaan Mulder Could Be a Better Fit for SRH

Despite losing Carse, SRH might benefit from Wiaan Mulder’s inclusion. His T20 stats are notably better than Carse’s. Mulder has scored 2,172 runs, including 12 half-centuries, and has taken 67 wickets in T20 cricket. His all-round abilities could add significant strength to SRH’s lineup in IPL 2025.

With SRH making this strategic change, it will be interesting to see how Mulder performs in the tournament and whether he can make a big impact for his new team.
