New Delhi, Sunrisers Hyderabad on Tuesday included Sri Lanka's young leg-spin Vijayakanth Vyasakantha as a replacement for injured Wanindu Hasaranga in the ongoing edition of the Indian Premier League.
The 22-year-old Vijayakanth, who has played one T20 match for Sri Lanka, looks set to be a replacement for leg spinner Hasaranga.
He has joined Sunrisers at a base price of Rs 50 lakh.
"Sunrisers Hyderabad have signed Vijaykant Vyaskanth as a replacement for the injured Wanindu Hasaranga for the remaining matches of the Tata Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024," an IPL statement said.
Hasaranga was set to play for SRH in the 2024 IPL after being bought by the 2016 champions for Rs 1.5 crore last year.
However, heel pain in his left foot ruled him out of the IPL this year.
He previously played for Royal Challengers Bangalore. His performance in the 2023 season was excellent and he took 26 wickets with an economy of 7.54, but in 2023 he played only eight matches and took nine wickets with an economy of 8.9.
