The Sunrisers Hyderabad have not had a good campaign in IPL 2023 so far. The Orange Army has not been able to get on a streak of wins. Inconsistencies in batting and bowling have meant that they are placed ninth on the points table at present. The Orange Army have won only two games and lost five of them. The Brian Lara-coached side is yet to get their act together in this tournament.
Now, they have been dealt a major blow. Their star all-rounder Washington Sundar has been ruled out of IPL 2023 due to a hamstring injury. Sundar’s best performance came at Hyderabad against Delhi Capitals in the last game. He picked up 3-28 in his four overs and also hit 24 with the bat in hand. In the end, his powerful all-round effort was in vain as DC beat SRH by a slender margin of 7 runs.
Here is the tweet:
🚨 INJURY UPDATE 🚨
Washington Sundar has been ruled out of the IPL 2023 due to a hamstring injury.
Washington Sundar has played for three IPL franchises in his career so far
“Washington Sundar has been ruled out of the IPL 2023 due to a hamstring injury,” SRH wrote on their social media accounts. The left-hand batter has played seven matches this season before getting ruled out due to injury. He picked up 3 wickets and scored 60 runs with the bat in what has been an under-par season for him. These times have been very hard for him as he recently showed great potential in the ODI series against New Zealand in New Zealand with his big hitting in the middle order.
Sundar has starred in 58 matches and has made 378 runs and picked up 36 wickets in the league. He has played for IPL teams like the defunct Rising Pune Super Giants, Royal Challengers Bangalore and now SRH. The franchise has not named a replacement for Sundar as of yet. SRH won one IPL Trophy in 2016, and they also made it to the final in 2018, but they finished runners-up.
The SRH coaching staff will have to come up with quick plans to resurrect their IPL campaign which appears to be in disarray at present. With Sundar now not playing a part in the team, they have lost his off-spin and also his left-hand batting in the middle order.
