April 09 - Sunrisers Hyderabad have signed Sri Lankan leggie Vijayakanth Viyaskanth as replacement for Wanindu Hasaranga for the remainder of IPL 2024.

Hasaranga was set to represent SRH for the first time in his IPL career after being bought by the 2016 champions for Rs 1.5 crore at the players’ auction last December.

However, a chronic pain in his left foot ended his hopes of playing any role for his new franchise in the ongoing season.

Hasaranga represented Royal Challengers Bengaluru for two seasons after being bought at an astronomical price of Rs 10.75 crore at the 2022 players’ auction.

The legspinner had an excellent maiden season for RCB, taking 26 wickets but played limited role last year following which he was released.

The financial rewards both legitimate and non-legitimate that awaits Sri Lankan players joining IPL out surpass anything they could earn playing for Sri Lankan national team. So, how can they have the determination to be very effective playing for Sri Lanka. IPL is destroying Sri Lankan cricket but no Sri Lankan politician seems to be concerned about it.

Now Hasananga's period is expired, better young bullets like Vijayakanth coming to the scene to perform. IPL is a good training platform for him.
