Sri Lankan international Wanindu Hasaranga is turning out to be a utility player for the national cricket team. He is best known for his all-round abilities where he can deliver his work rate in the form of two dimensions.
When he doesn’t take too many wickets at times, he ensures to keep the opposition batters in check by bowling dot balls, which ultimately adds searing pressure on the batters.
Wanindu Hasaranga chipped in with a pretty decent performance against Team India in the first T20I at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. He took one wicket to his name by getting rid of the dangerous Ishan Kishan.
Besides that, he was the most economical bowler for the visitors. He conceded only 22 runs in his full quota of 4 overs where he maintained an impressive economy of 5.50.
