IPL 2022: Losing Washington Sundar against CSK impacted our bowling, says SRH coach Tom Moody

Washington Sundar has injured his bowling hand again, revealed Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) head coach Tom Moody, raising doubts over the all-rounder's availability for the next game against Delhi Capitals. Washington, who made a comeback in the game against the Gujarat Titans after missing three matches due to split webbing in his bowling hand, re-injured the same area while fielding against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on Sunday. Following that, the off-spinner was unable to bowl a single ball in Sunrisers' 13-run loss to CSK. While he did come down to bat, his stay in the middle lasted only two balls.
