Sunrisers Hyderabad skipper Kane Williamson informed that his deputy Bhuvneshwar Kumar will miss IPL encounter against Mumbai Indians, tomorrow. According to team sources, the pace spearhead is suffering from a niggling back injury and has been advised rest.
“Bhuvi did not travel with the team and is not playing the next match. Shikhar we are hoping will be fine for tomorrow,” Williamson told reporters
Williamson also said that Yusuf Pathan is likely to get fit having suffered from cramps during the CSK game.
“I am not 100 percent sure on how Yusuf is. I know he did have some cramps but hopefully, he will be ok and come tomorrow night,” added Williamson.
The SRH and New Zealand skipper also expressed confidence that Afghanistan leg-spinner Rashid Khan will bounce back after poor outing against KXIP and CSK having went for 55 and 49 runs respectively.
“Rashid is a world class bowler. T20 cricket does not make exemptions for any bowler to escape pressure. Any bowler can be hit, so that’s the nature of the game and I suppose he has learned a huge amount in such a short period of time.
“The last couple of games, it is been a couple of special knocks, (from) people, who have played Rashid nicely but he is a world-class bowler and will bounce back well. You need to embrace those challenges and I know he will,” Williamson said.
SRH are currently fourth in the table with three wins and two looses.
