NEW DELHI: Sunrisers Hyderabad announced the inclusion of young Sri Lankan leg-spinner

Vijayakanth Viyaskanth

on Tuesday as a replacement for the injured

Wanindu Hasaranga

in the ongoing Indian Premier League season.
The 22-year-old Vijayakanth, who has one T20I appearance for Sri Lanka, serves as a direct replacement for leg-spinner Hasaranga.
He has joined Sunrisers for a sum of Rs 50 lakh, which was his base price.

"Sunrisers Hyderabad have signed Vijaykanth Viyaskanth as a replacement for the injured Wanindu Hasaranga for the remainder of the Tata Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024," an IPL statement said.

Hasaranga was set to turn out for SRH in the 2024 IPL after being bought by the 2016 champions for Rs 1.5 crore last year.
However, chronic heel pain in his left foot ruled him out of the IPL this year.
He previously played for Royal Challengers Bengaluru. He had a stellar 2022 season, taking 26 wickets with an economy of 7.54, but in 2023 he played only eight games and took nine wickets with an economy of 8.9.
