Star Hyderabad player injured! Set to be ruled out for at least a week

After losing their first two games of the Indian T20 league 2022, Hyderabad are finally back to the groove. They have now won their last two games. Their most recent one being against Gujarat, who were in superb form. The orange army beat the Hardik Pandya-led side by eight wickets.

Despite having a memorable outing, a few of Hyderabad's players suffered injuries during the game. Washington Sundar was one of them as he got injured during the first innings. According to a report by Sports Tiger, the all-rounder is set to be ruled out of action for at least one week. He sustained an injury between his thumb and first finger.

Thus, he was seen walking off the field without even completing his full quota of four overs. In his three overs, he only gave 14 runs. Kane Williamson compensated it by giving the ball to Aiden Markram for an over. Sundar being unavailable for Hyderabad comes as a huge blow.

Not only has he been bowling well, but his form with the bat has been fairly decent as well. Besides, he was the only specialist spinner fielding in the XI. A three-dimensional player like him maintains a balance in the side as well.

It is to be noted that Sundar had to miss the UAE leg of the Indian T20 league 2021 due to a finger injury. Moreover, he was ruled out of the recently concluded three-match T20I series against the West Indies as he sustained a hamstring injury. As far as the game on Monday is concerned, a clinical performance from the Williamson-led side ensured that they didn't miss his services with the bat.

However, even Rahul Tripathi suffered an injury during the game. There hasn't been any update on him just yet. Hyderabad's next game is scheduled to take place on April 17 at the Dr DY Patil Sports Academy in Mumbai. They are set to face Punjab. Like Hyderabad, even the Mayank Agarwal-led side have won two out of their four games.
