The Delhi left-armer underwent surgery on Tuesday.

Former India batsman and Sunrisers team mentor VVS Laxman, took to social networking site Twitter to inform about Nehra's successful surgery.

"Nehra ji had a successful operation last night in London. Wishing him a speedy recovery," Laxman wrote on Wednesday.

The Delhi pacer, who formed a formidable trio --alongside Bangladesh's Mustafizur Rahman and Bhuvneshwar Kumar -- for the Hyderabad team, took nine wickets in eight matches before sustaining the injury in a league match against Kings XI Punjab. 

The David Warner-led Hyderabad team will take on Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the eliminator at the Ferozeshah Kotla Stadium here on Wednesday.
