“I always strive to take wickets when I bowl. When I’m on the national team, I always try to give it my all. That is why I am wealthy. I’m always driven to succeed. I’m not under any duress. I don’t want to follow in the footsteps of Muralitharan or Herath. I want to be Hasaranga’s first.”
Lastly, Wanindu Hasaranga has been amazing. He’s also playing for Jaffna Kings in the ongoing Lanka Premier League. The importance of leg-spinners in the shortest formats is emphasized.
“Leg spinners can do anything. Because in T20 cricket, batsmen are going to hit big shots. We have a lot of variations. Sometimes, we can get hit for 40-50 runs in a match. But in the next match, we find a way to get back and pick 4-5 wickets. Leg-spinners can win matches,” Wanindu Hasaranga said.
