Explosive batsmen like Shikhar Dhawan, Prithvi Shaw, Ishan Kishan and Hardik Pandya were struggling in front of this mystery spinner. In such a situation, it is believed that Hasaranga will play in all the matches. However, if RCB’s team reaches the final, then both these Sri Lankan players will not be able to take part in it. Because Sri Lanka Cricket has ordered both of them to join the team on 10 October. RCB’s campaign in the second leg of IPL 2021 will begin with a match against Kolkata Knight Riders on 20 September in Abu Dhabi.
