Wiaan Mulder Replaces Injured Brydon Carse in SRH’s IPL 2025 Squad
Sunrisers Hyderabad Sign Wiaan Mulder for IPL 2025
In a crucial roster change ahead of IPL 2025, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) have announced South African all-rounder Wiaan Mulder as a replacement for England pacer Brydon Carse. Mulder, known for his all-round capabilities, has been an integral part of South Africa’s limited-overs setup, delivering consistent performances with both bat and ball.
Carse suffered an injury during the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 and was subsequently ruled out of the IPL season. His absence has paved the way for Mulder to make his Indian Premier League debut.
Why Was Brydon Carse Ruled Out of IPL 2025?
Injury Sustained During ICC Champions Trophy
Brydon Carse, who has built a reputation for delivering crucial breakthroughs, was named in England’s Champions Trophy squad after impressive performances in ODIs and T20Is. However, his campaign was cut short due to a foot injury sustained in England’s opening match against Australia. The injury not only forced him to withdraw from the Champions Trophy but also ruled him out of IPL 2025.
Carse, who was acquired by Sunrisers Hyderabad for INR 1 crore in the previous IPL mega auction, had been expected to play a key role for the franchise. However, his injury setback required the team to seek a suitable replacement.

Mulder’s T20 Record and IPL Debut
Wiaan Mulder, a versatile all-rounder, has been a regular member of South Africa’s white-ball squad. Though he has featured in only 11 T20 Internationals, where he has scored 105 runs and claimed 8 wickets, his experience in various domestic and franchise T20 leagues makes him a valuable addition.
Across 128 T20 matches, Mulder has accumulated 2,172 runs and scalped 67 wickets, showcasing his ability to contribute in both departments. Despite his extensive experience in T20 leagues, IPL 2025 will mark his first-ever appearance in the prestigious tournament.
SRH Signs Mulder for INR 75 Lakhs
Sunrisers Hyderabad secured Mulder’s services for INR 75 lakhs, which was his base price at the IPL mega auction. The franchise hopes that his skill set and experience will help fill the void left by Carse’s injury.
What This Means for Sunrisers Hyderabad
With the inclusion of Wiaan Mulder, SRH adds depth to their squad, particularly in the all-rounder department. His ability to deliver handy runs in the middle order and contribute effectively with the ball makes him a crucial asset for the team.
As IPL 2025 unfolds, all eyes will be on Mulder to see how he adapts to the high-intensity competition and whether he can make a significant impact in his debut season.
