Washington Sundar has injured his hand again, from which he
bowls. For this reason, he could not bowl in the Indian Premier League (IPL)
match against Chennai Super Kings (CSK). Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) head coach
Tom Moody has made this disclosure.
Washington made a comeback against Gujarat Titans after
being out for three matches due to an injury to his bowling arm. He again got
hurt in the same hand while fielding against Chennai on Sunday. Due to this,
his playing against Delhi Capitals (DC) in the next match (May 5) is also
doubtful.

Due to this the off-spinner could not bowl during Sunrisers'
13-run defeat at the hands of Chennai. He came to bat lower down the order but
could only face two balls.
Moody said after the match, 'It is unfortunate that he has
suffered an injury in the same hand that was earlier. Earlier the injury was
completely healed, but that limb has been injured again. However, there is no
need to get stitches in it.
“But unfortunately he was not in a position to bowl. It
really affected our bowling as he is an important bowler for us.

Fast bowler T Natarajan was also out of the field during the
match against Chennai due to injury. This led to Kane Williamson handing the
ball to Aiden Markram and Shashank Singh as the fifth bowler, who together
bowled four overs and conceded 46 runs in them.
Moody said, 'When you lose your main bowler, it is a big
blow to the team. Natarajan was also out of the field for some time due to
injury, thus there were seven overs till the 14th-15th over which our leading
bowlers did not do. We lost 20-30 runs more because of this.
