  • Virat Kohli and RCB team management might look forward to using his current form in their opening match of IPL 2021 Phase 2. Since KKR are not at their best, Hasaranga can grab the opportunity to showcase his talent on RCB debut.

WHO SAID WHAT:

RCB head coach on Wanindu Hasaranga ahead of IPL 2021:

“We have an extensive scouting program, Wanidu has been on our radar for a long time. We aren’t surprised by his success in recent times, he has been doing it for a while. We like his skill set. We like the fact that he is a multi-skill cricketer, so he offers us the ability to bat a little bit deeper as well. That gives us a lot of exciting options.”
