David Payne (Sunrisers Hyderabad seamer) has been ruled out for the rest of IPL 2026 due to an ankle injury. He had joined the SRH squad as a replacement for Jack Edwards, who was sidelined with a foot injury. Payne played only two matches, recording figures of 2 for 35 and 0 for 35. Additionally, Brydon Carse (England allrounder) was also lost to injury, having not participated in any games this season. In better news for SRH, Pat Cummins (Australian fast bowler) has received clearance to return after back scans, potentially aiming for a comeback against Rajasthan Royals on April 25. Currently, SRH is positioned fourth in the points table with two wins from five matches, tied on points with four other teams but ahead on net run rate. Their next match is scheduled against Chennai Super Kings at home in Hyderabad on Saturday.
