IPL 2026: SRH Bolsters Pace Attack with Dilshan Madushanka as Injury Cover

Live India 2 days ago

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) have officially signed Sri Lankan left-arm pacer Dilshan Madushanka for the remainder of the IPL 2026 season.

The 25-year-old joins the 'Orange Army' as an injury replacement for England's Brydon Carse, who has been ruled out of the tournament.

According to a release from the IPL on Tuesday evening, Madushanka has been secured for his base price of ₹75 lakh.

Madushanka, who was Sri Lanka's standout performer during the 2023 ODI World Cup, brings a potent new-ball threat to the SRH lineup. While he was previously with Mumbai Indians, an injury sidelined him for the 2024 season. He arrives at SRH with a solid T20 record, having claimed 61 wickets in 63 matches.

The signing of Madushanka marks the second major injury replacement for the Hyderabad franchise this season:

The inclusion of Madushanka provides SRH with a tactical alternative to their current pace battery. His ability to swing the ball early on will be a valuable asset as SRH looks to climb the points table following their recent 57-run victory over Rajasthan Royals.
