Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) have acquired the services of Sri Lankan spinner Wanindu Hasaranga at the ongoing IPL 2022 mega auction for a whopping amount of INR 10.75 crore.
He rejoins Bangalore having represented them in the second phase of IPL 2021. Hasaranga played 2 matches in the tournament and remained wicket-less.
Hasarange entered the auction with a reserve price of INR 1 crore ahead of the auction. Given his recent exploits in the international arena, it was expected that Hasaranga would draw interest from a couple of franchises.
Sunrisers Hyderabad, Punjab Kings and RCB were the teams that went for it as they looked to secure Wanindu Hasaranga’s services, with his value going through the roof.
