Wanindu Hasaranga IPL 2024 Team: Which team is Sri Lanka spinner playing for in IPL 2024?

In a surprising turn of events at the IPL 2024 mini-auction held at the Coca-Cola Arena in Dubai on Tuesday, December 19, star Sri Lankan wrist spinner Wanindu Hasaranga was acquired by Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) for his base price of INR 1.50 Crore.

Despite his prowess as one of the premier T20I bowlers globally, the 26-year-old found no immediate takers in the initial rounds of bidding.

Interestingly, Hasaranga was part of the second set in the auction, yet none of the franchises initially expressed interest in securing his services. However, SRH took advantage of the opportunity, displaying their intent to invest in the talented spinner and clinched a deal for just INR 1.50 crore, considered a bargain given his skill set and international reputation.

Known for his exceptional performances across various T20 tournaments worldwide, Hasaranga’s availability at his base price made him a steal for Sunrisers Hyderabad, potentially bolstering their bowling arsenal significantly.
