The 22-year-old Vijayakanth has a bit of experience in franchise cricket, having represented Jaffna Kings in the Lanka Premier League, Chattogram Challengers in the Bangladesh Premier League and MI Emirates in the ILT20 over the years.
Hasaranga was ruled out of IPL 2024 a few days ago due to chronic heel pain in his left foot.
Hasaranga was yet to join Sunrisers Hyderabad, who bought him at his base price of Rs 1.5 crore in the mini-auction in December 2023. Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) later reported his unavailability for IPL 2024 due to injury. SRH waited for a suitable replacement since the start of IPL 2020 and eventually chose Vijayakanth.
