Sunrisers Hyderabad fast bowler Shivam Mavi has been ruled out of IPL 2026 due to a back injury, the franchise said on Friday.
Right-arm medium pacer Mavi has not yet played any match for the franchise in IPL 2026. In fact, he has not played any IPL match since 2022. Mavi has a history of struggling with injuries, which have hampered his career.
After going unsold in IPL 2025, Mavi was picked up by SRH in 2026 at his base price of Rs 75 lakh.
RS Ambareesh replaced Shivam Mavi
Ambareesh is a bowling all-rounder from Tamil Nadu who bats left-handed and bowls right-arm medium pace. Ambareesh was also a part of the Indian team that won the Under-19 World Cup earlier this year.
In that tournament, he took 11 wickets in 7 matches and was India’s joint-highest wicket-taker. He will join SRH at a base price of Rs 30 lakh.
