Will Wanindu Hasaranga be affected with the boycott Srilankan crickters trend?
Sri Lankan leg-spinner Wanindu Hasaranga joined Royal Challengers Bangalore for Rs 10.75 crore at the IPL 2022 mega auction in Bengaluru on Saturday. Hasaranga took a hat-trick at last year’s T20 World Cup. He was also the highest wicket-taker with 16 victims in eight matches at 5.20.
Known to keep things tidy at his end and create chances for wickets as well, Hasaranga’s googly and slider are often the most cause of concern for batters, much like is the case with the far more dangerous Rashid Khan. Against India in Sri Lanka, he picked 7 wickets in 3 games with a best of 4/9 in the final T20I, while in the white-ball games against the South Africans, he’s taken 7 wickets in 6 games, going wicketless in only 1.
With the rising rage of Tamilians against Srilankan cricketer Maheesh Theekshana, it now might include Hasaranga too.
