Sri Lanka spinner Wanindu Hasaranga has said that he wants to pick India Test skipper and his favourite player, Virat Kohli’s wicket.
“I would love to get my favourite cricketer Virat Kohli’s wicket someday. I also want to pick Babar Azam and Glenn Maxwell’s wickets as well," Hasaranga said when asked to name the players he wishes to dismiss in his career.
Talking about his bowling, Hasaranga said that he always tries to pick wickets whenever he has the ball in his hands and that is the reason for him being successful.
“When I am bowling, I always try to take wickets. When I am in the national team, I always try to do my best for the team. That’s why I am successful," he said.
Hasaranga has become a good household name and his comparisons are drawn with legends like Muttiah Muralitharan and Rangana Herath but the spinner is focused on his own game.
“I am always motivated to perform. I don’t feel any pressure. I don’t want to be the next Muralitharan or the next Herath. I want to be the first Hasaranga," he said.
