Sri Lankan spinner Wanindu Hasaranga has been a sensation for Royal Challengers Bangalore this season. He first joined the Royal Challengers Bangalore last year for the 2nd half of the IPL as a replacement player. Hasaranga played just a couple of games in IPL 2021, where he could not pick a wicket.

In IPL 2022, RCB released Yuzvendra Chahal, and they went after Wanindu Hasaranga in the auction. There was a tough battle between Punjab Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore, and RCB spent a mammoth INR 10.75 crores to gather the services of the Sri Lankan leg-spinner.

Wanindu Hasaranga is the 2nd highest wicket-taker of the tournament so far. He has scalped 25 wickets at an economy of 7.62, whereas his S/R has been 12.70. The impact of Wanindu Hasaranga has been incredible for Royal Challengers Bangalore in the middle-overs.

Hasaranga’s spell of 4-1-18-5 against Sunrisers Hyderabad has been one of the best of the tournament. He single-handedly won that game for the RCB.

The 24-years old leg-spinner has played 100 T20 games so far, whereas he has scalped 140 wickets at a stunning economy of 6.65. He has been amongst the highest wicket-takers of the Lanka Premier League as well.
