Sunrisers Hyderabad: Sunrisers Hyderabad had bought Sri Lankan spinner Wanindu Hasaranga in the IPL 2024 auction for a price of Rs 1.5 crore. But he could not play the match this season. Hasaranga was already injured, but it was estimated that he would be out only for the initial matches of the IPL. But considering the seriousness of the injury, he had to be out of the entire season.

It was a big blow for Hyderabad, because Hasaranga can turn the match at any time with his all-round abilities. However, now Hyderabad has replaced him with another dreaded Sri Lankan player in their camp.

This player joined Sunrisers Hyderabad

Sunrisers Hyderabad have included a young player from Sri Lanka, Vijayakanth Viyaskanth, in their camp in place of Wanindu Hasaranga. Vyaskanth is a leg spinner and has played in the Lanka Premier League, International League T20 and Bangladesh Premier League.

However, he does not have much experience of playing cricket at the big level. He played the only T20 International match for Sri Lanka against Afghanistan in October last year. He also got 1 success in this match.

This has been the T20 career

22 year old Vijaykant Vyaskant has played a total of 33 T20 matches so far. In this, he has taken 42 wickets at an average of 18.78 and economy of 6.76. During this period his best bowling figure is 3/14. In List A, he has taken 2 wickets in 5 matches, while in First Class cricket, he has taken 16 wickets in 6 matches. These figures are enough to prove the talent of this recovering bowler. Sunrisers Hyderabad has welcomed Vyaskanth by sharing a post on social media. It is expected that he will learn a lot from the world class players in IPL.

This has been SRH's performance in IPL 2024

The journey of IPL 2024 has been average so far for Sunrisers Hyderabad. They have won 2 out of 4 matches played this season, while they have faced defeat in 2. They won against Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings, while lost against Kolkata Knight Riders and Gujarat Titans. Hyderabad is currently placed at 5th position in the points table with 4 points.
