Hyderabad: Sunrisers Hyderabad were dealt a huge blow today as senior left-arm pacer Ashish Nehra was ruled out of ongoing the Indian Premier League after sustaining a hamstring tendon injury which also put serious a question mark on his future in competitive cricket.
The press release issued by the franchise stated: “Sunrisers Hyderabad spearhead, Ashish Nehra has sustained a significant hamstring tendon injury during the match against Kings XI Punjab on May 15, 2016.”
“Ashish Nehra is now in consultation with a specialist orthopaedic surgeon for the most appropriate course of treatment to ensure a successful return to competitive cricket. Unfortunately he will play no further part in the ninth edition of the IPL for Sunrisers Hyderabad,” the release further stated.
Those in the know of things said that normally a Grade-1 hamstring injury at least takes three weeks to heal and hamstring tendon injury could take anything between 3-6 months including rehabilitation. There are also talks about Nehra being a preferred choice as bowling coach with vast repertoire of in-depth knowledge on pace bowling.
