Anushka was seen wearing a strapping on her right hand ahead of Tuesday's match.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"Adani Sportsline-owned Gujarat Giants confirm that young batter Anushka Sharma will be out of action for a short period as she recovers from a minor injury sustained while fielding during our match against Delhi Capitals on Sunday night.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"Anushka is under the close supervision of the team\u2019s medical staff and is progressing well. She will be a big miss for the side, but her health and long-term well-being remain our priority. The entire Gujarat Giants family is firmly behind her and looks forward to welcoming her back soon,\" the Gujarat Giants said in a statement on Tuesday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Anushka, a 22-year-old batting all-rounder, was snapped up by Gujarat Giants (GG) in the WPL 2026 auction after a keen bidding battle with Mumbai Indians (MI) and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). She wasted little time in announcing her arrival, striking a fluent 44 off 30 balls on her WPL debut at No. 3 against UP Warriorz (UPW), an innings that laid the foundation for GG\u2019s first-ever winning start to a WPL season.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Ayushi Soni was handed a debut cap by the Giants, replacing Anushka in the eleven.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

However, MI has a strong history against the Giants, having beaten them in each of their previous seven matches in WPL history. For the Mumbai Indians, a fit-again Hayley Matthews is back in the eleven as Nat Sciver-Brunt is unwell.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
