New Delhi. The Sunrisers Hyderabad team, which was seen in a different color in the Indian Premier League, created history by scoring the highest score in the history of the tournament. The team that won three out of five matches had to lose its most important player due to injury. On Tuesday, Sri Lanka’s young leg spinner Vijayakanth Vyaskanth was included in the team in place of injured Wanindu Hasaranga in the current season of the Indian Premier League.
22-year-old Vijayakanth, who has played one T20 international for Sri Lanka, is a similar option to leg spinner Hasaranga. Vijaykant has joined Sunrisers at a base price of Rs 50 lakh. “Sunrisers Hyderabad has signed Vijaykant Vyaskanth as a replacement for the injured Wanindu Hasaranga for the remaining matches of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024,” the IPL said in a statement.
Last year, 2016 champion Sunrisers had bought Hasaranga for Rs 1.5 crore but due to pain in the heel of his left foot, he was out of the IPL this year. Hasaranga earlier played for Royal Challengers Bangalore. His performance in the 2022 season was excellent and he took 26 wickets while giving runs at the rate of 7.54 runs per over, but in 2023 he played only eight matches and took nine wickets while giving runs at the rate of 8.9 runs per over.
Great performance by Hyderabad
So far this season, Sunrisers Hyderabad team has shown a brilliant performance. The team created history by scoring 277 runs against Mumbai Indians, the highest score in IPL history. Out of the five played so far, the team has won three. After starting with a defeat against Kolkata, they defeated Mumbai and then lost to Gujarat. After this the team has defeated Chennai Super Kings and now Punjab Kings.
