Sri Lanka’s Wanindu Hasaranga had a great home T20I series against Shikhar Dhawan-led Indian team as the leg-spinner was the leading wicket-taker of the three-match series and also was named the Man of the Series.
These fantastic performances against a quality Indian side earned Hasaranga an Indian Premier League (IPL) contract as the Sri Lankan became the latest addition to the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) squad for the upcoming second-leg of the tournament in UAE.
In a press release, RCB on Saturday said that Sri Lanka's Dushmantha Chameera and all-rounder Wanindu Hasaranga, and Singapore's hard-hitter Tim David have been included in the squad for the rest of the season.
The move was made in order to make up for the unavailability of a few players for the second half of IPL 2021, including Adam Zampa, Daniel Sams, Finn Allen, and Scott Kuggeleijn.
The 24-year-old who was really happy for being a part of IPL 2021, took to Instagram and expressed his feelings.
“From sitting at home and watching them, to being a part of an amazing team. I am excited, honoured, and thrilled all at once,” he wrote as the caption to his Instagram post.
