Washington Sundar Ruled Out Of IPL 2023 Due To Hamstring Injury

All-rounder Washington Sundar has been ruled out of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 due to a hamstring injury, his franchise Sunrisers Hyderabad confirmed on Thursday. Sundar has been a mainstay in the Sunrisers team for the season so far but will not be able to play any part in the campaign further. The franchise is yet to announce a replacement of the spin-bowling all-rounder. "Washington Sundar has been ruled out of the IPL 2023 due to a hamstring injury. Speedy recovery, Washi", the Sunrisers posted on Twitter.

The all-rounder is an important player for SRH, though he hasn't hit peak form this campaign so far. In the 16th edition of the league, Sudar has scored 60 runs at an average of 15 and has three wickets under his belt in seven matches at an average of 48.66 and an economy of 8.26 before being ruled out. Sundar was signed by the Sunrisers for Rs. 8.25 crore in the IPL 2022 auction.

The Tamil Nadu player had also faced injury during the last IPL, suffering split webbing in his bowling hand.

Sundar's withdrawal is indeed a huge massive blow to the Sunrisers' chances of making it to the playoffs this season. Languishing at the bottom of the points table with just two wins in their last five games, the Aiden Markram-led franchise hasn't been able to match some of the other franchises' performances on the field. They are next scheduled to take on Delhi Capitals in the league.

SRH are currently languishing at ninth spot in the 10-team standings with two wins and five losses out of the seven matches they have played so far. They haven't yet announced a replacement for Sundar.

Sanju Samson's Act Minutes After T20 World Cup Selection Wins Hearts

April 8, 2008. Sanju Samson, then a skinny 14-year-old, curled on the bed in his hotel room, watched Kolkata Knight Riders' Brendon McCullum hammering a 73-ball 158 against Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the first-ever IPL match. That drizzly evening in Kottayam, a town in central Kerala, changed his heart. Forever. Sanju reshuffled his career dream, from wanting to become a civil servant to entering the elite world of a top-flight cricketer. "Sanju always recollects that day, which gave him the dream of reaching that league of top players one day," said former Kerala player Raiphi Vincent Gomez, also a close friend of the wicketkeeper batter. But merely having a dream will not take anyone to the top of their profession, more so in sports. Sanju then had oodles of determination too to walk down his chosen path. Biju George, the former India women's cricket team's fielding coach and the early mentor of the Kerala player, saw that brightly flickering flame inside...

Rohit's exploits at the top have played a big role in India's superlative show in the World Cup. In fact, Pakistan greats Wasim Akram and Shoaib Malik even pointed out what separates Rohit from other top stars like Virat Kohli , Joe Root , Kane Williamson and Babar Azam . Akram and Malik, in a chat on A-Sports, didn't shy away from highlighting how different Rohit is from the rest, suggesting the India skipper doesn't spare any bowler from his wrath. "There's no player like Rohit Sharma in international cricket. We talk about Virat Kohli, Joe Root, Kane Williamson and Babar Azam but this guy is different. He makes batting look so easy no matter what the opposition or bowling attack," said Akram. "He's a kind of batter who will hit all five opposition bowler...
