Star all-rounder Washington Sundar is likely to miss the next two matches of Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL 2022 after suffering split webbing in his bowling hand - right - during the match against Gujarat Titans. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
SRH head coach Tom Moody said that Sundar will be monitored for the next 2-3 days and it would take a week to settle down if it isn't a significant blow. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
"Washington has torn the webbing in his right hand, between his thumb and first finger. We must monitor that over the next two-three days. Hopefully, it isn't a significant blow. I'd imagine it'd take probably a week or so to settle down," Moody said. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
Sundar has been the lone specialist spinner for SRH in the four matches played so far. Shreyas Iyer and J Suchith are two bowling options SRH is likely to play until Sundar recovers with Aiden Markram as the sixth bowler. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
"We also consider Aiden Markram as a good sixth bowler, and he bowls spin well. Most teams we've played have quite a few left-handers in their top order, so it has suited us to have eight overs of off-spin if we require," Moody said of SRH's bowling plans. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
"We haven't yet seen the surface turn a huge amount, but as the tournament unfolds, we may see the conditions change slightly where spinners come into the game, and then that balance of pace versus spin might change."<\/p>\r\n\r\n
During the match, another crucial player, Rahul Tripathi, was retired hurt and was taken off the field. However, Moody revealed that it was just a cramp and Tripathi is fine. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
