Sunrisers Hyderabad have signed RS Ambrish as an injury replacement for Shivam Mavi for the remainder of the Indian Premier League 2026 season, after the right-arm pacer was ruled out with a groin injury.

RS Ambrish, an all-rounder, was part of India's title-winning squad at the ICC Men's Under-19 Cricket World Cup 2026 and finished as the team's joint-highest wicket-taker, claiming 11 wickets in the tournament.

"Sunrisers Hyderabad sign RS Ambrish as injury replacement for Shivam Mavi. Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) have picked RS Ambrish as an injury replacement for Shivam Mavi for the remainder of the TATA Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026. Mavi, a right-arm medium pacer, has been ruled out of the ongoing season due to a groin injury," as per a statement from IPL.

"RS Ambrish, who is an all-rounder, was a part of the triumphant India Under-19 squad of ICC Men's Under-19 World Cup 2026. He was also India Under-19's joint-highest wicket-taker at the tournament, with 11 wickets against his name. Ambrish, who is a right-arm medium pacer and a left-handed batter, will join SRH for INR 30 Lakh," the statement further added.

This is what makes IPL exciting—giving platform to domestic talents. But I wish SRH would also focus on their middle-order batting. It's been shaky all season. 😅

30 lakh is a steal for a U-19 star! SRH's scouting team has done well. But Mavi's injury is a blow—he was starting to find his rhythm. Get well soon, Shivam! 🙏

Good for Ambrish, but I don't understand the hype around U-19 performers anymore. Many fizzle out in IPL. Let's wait and see. 🤷‍♂️

SRH's bowling unit is already stacked with Pat Cummins, Bhuvneshwar, and now Hinge & Hussain. Ambrish might struggle for game time, but good backup option. 😊

Feel bad for Mavi—guy has been injury-prone. But Ambrish is a solid replacement. Left-handed bat and right-arm medium? That's a useful combo in T20s. 👍

IPL keeps delivering drama even off the field! Hope Ambrish gets a chance to prove himself. SRH vs KKR on Sunday should be a cracker. 🏏🔥
