Sunrisers Hyderabad have announced that ace Sri Lanka spinner Wanindu Hasaranga will miss the ongoing season of IPL due to injury. Hasaranga was missing from Sunrisers camp this season as he didn't travel to India and was undergoing rehab in Sri Lanka. He recently featured in Sri Lanka's white-ball series against Bangladesh but according to reports, he did it while going through a substantial amount of pain.

During the six matches that he played in the limited-overs format, Hasaranga claimed eight wickets, with six coming in the ODI series and two in the T20I.
The 2016 IPL champions waited on the final update on Hasaranga and announced a replacement on Tuesday, as they repoed in Vijayakanth Viyaskanth for the rest of the season. Rookie Vijayakanth has played one T20I for Sri Lanka, and is a like-for-like replacement for Hasaranga.
