"The 22-year-old Gujarat Giants batter sustained an injury to her hand while fielding against the Delhi Capitals"
Gujarat Giants batter Anushka Sharma has been ruled out of their WPL 2026 third league game against Mumbai Indians after injuring her right hand while fielding against Delhi Capitals on Sunday. The 22-year-old will miss Tuesday's DY Patil showdown but is out only for a short period.
The franchise confirmed Anushka's progressing well under medical supervision. Her 44 off 30 debut knock had Giants fans dreaming big, but the fielding mishap cuts her short-term run.
Franchise Backs Star's Recovery
"Anushka Sharma will be out of action for a short period as she recovers from a minor injury... She will be a big miss, but her health remains our priority," the Giants stated. Ayushi Soni, the 25-year-old with T20I experience, steps in as cover.
"The entire Gujarat Giants family is firmly behind her and looks forward to welcoming her back soon."
Giants stay unbeaten but feel the pinch without Anushka's all-round spark. Her return will boost their WPL 2026 charge.
