SRH suffers a massive blow as their star pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar has been ruled out of the tournament due to an injury. He has been the vital cog of Sunrirsers Hyderabad’s bowling unit for a long.

The orange army lost the first couple of games in IPL 2020 before returning onto the winning track. But, at the beginning of the tournament, they were dealt with a big blow after Mitchell Marsh sustained an ankle injury. He could bowl only 4 balls before he was struck by a massive blow. Soon, SRH announced his replacement and called Jason Holder.
SRH suffers yet another injury blow
Now, they seem to be in trouble after Bhuvneshwar Kumar being ruled out from the tournament. This season SRH is already struggling with its bowling department. In the previous game, Siddarth Kaul replaced Bhuvi in the playing 11. But, he failed to perform fill the void in the side. He gave 64 runs off his 4 over spell.
The Indian pacer sustained an injury during the 19th over against Chennai Super Kings. The physio came out on the ground and tried his best. But, Bhuvi was in such pain that he couldn’t complete his over. This season in 4 games, the Indian pacer bowled with an economy rate of 6.98 and grabbed 3 wickets.
