IPL 2022: BAD news for Sunrisers Hyderabad as THIS top all-rounder injured again, informs coach Tom Moody

Sunrisers Hyderabad all-rounder Washington Sundar re-injured his bowling finger while fielding against Chennai Super Kings in their IPL 2022 match on Sunday (May 1).

Team India and Sunrisers Hyderabad all-rounder Washington Sundar has injured his bowling hand again, revealed SRH head coach Tom Moody, raising doubts over the all-rounder’s availability for the next game against Delhi Capitals. Washington, who made a comeback in the game against the Gujarat Titans after missing three matches due to split webbing in his bowling hand, re-injured the same area while fielding against Chennai Super Kings on Sunday (May 1).

Following which the off-spinner was unable to bowl a single ball in Sunrisers’ 13-run loss to CSK. While he did come down to bat, his stay in the middle lasted only two balls.

“It’s very unfortunate that he had a knock on the same hand were he split his webbing. It had healed completely but he re-injured that area, it's not injured to the point that he needs it re-stitched,” Moody said at the post-match presentation.

“But unfortunately, it wasn’t in a state were he could bowl. It really did have an impact on for us in that early phase of bowling, given he has such a critical bowler for us,” he added.

Sunrisers struggled against CSK as their other bowler T. Natarajan was also off the field for a considerable time nursing an injury. In the duo’s absence, skipper Kane Williamson had to use the services of part time spinner Aiden Markram and batting all-rounder Shashank Singh.
