The performance of Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in IPL 2024 has been quite good so far. SRH team has played two matches this season, where in one they had a close defeat against KKR, while in the other they got a win against MI. At the same time, before the third match of the season, the Hyderabad team has suffered a big setback.
The team’s star all-rounder Wanindu Hasaranga has been ruled out of the entire tournament due to a left heel injury. He had not even reached India yet, due to which he could not be a part of the first two matches and now the news has come that he was out of the tournament. Due to injury, he will not be able to participate in IPL this time.

Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) on Saturday, March 30 confirmed that Sri Lanka’s T20 captain Wanindu Hasaranga will be ruled out of the entire Indian Premier League (IPL) season due to a left heel injury, according to Sri Lankan website Newswire.
