IPL 2024: With a new captain and a new combination, the Sunrisers Hyderabad team looks different this season. Out of the first two matches, the team won one match but the performance in both the matches has been good, but this is bad news for the team. Hyderabad bought an excellent player in the IPL 2024 auction but this player has not joined the team yet and there is suspense over his return in the future as he is reportedly injured. The name of that player is Wanindu Hasaranga who is also the captain of the Sri Lanka T20 team.
Bubble on the return of Vanindu Hasaranga
Recently, Sri Lanka Cricket suddenly recalled him from retirement to save him from a ban of 4 T20 Internationals and selected him in the Test team. Now meanwhile, information has come to light that he has suffered an injury to his ankle. Meanwhile, the statement of Hasaranga's manager has also created suspense. The manager said, he will join soon or after a few days. That means it is not clear when he will return but the manager says that he will return.
Hasaranga did not come because of money?
Hasaranga was bought by the franchise at the base price of Rs 1.5 crore. While in RCB, the player was getting Rs 10.75 crore in 2022 and 2023 but RCB released him. Many such cases came to light where some players withdrew their names due to less money received in the auction. Hasaranga's manager clarified that this is completely wrong. If rupees were important then we would have kept the base price at Rs 2 crore. He will have to take care of his ankle right now. He is also the captain of the national team.
Whatever may be the reason behind this, the Sunrisers team is having to bear the brunt of it. He also cannot choose a replacement as there is no set time for Hasaranga's return. Franchise officials are not commenting on this matter. It is reported that Hasaranga will go to Dubai on March 31 and get a checkup done. The manager said, the problem is in his left ankle. The decision on his return to IPL will be taken as per the doctor's advice. But he will definitely come to IPL because he himself wants to go there and enjoy his time. We are in touch with the franchise for this.
