Sri Lanka hitter Bhanuka Rajapaksa said his experience of playing IPL 2022, where he dazzled while addressing Punjab Kings, will make a ton of inspiration inside the public side in front of their Asia Cup opener against Afghanistan on Saturday.
Playing for the Punjab Kings in IPL 2022, the left-given Rajapaksa displayed his power-hitting abilities through two or three forceful thumps. Rajapaksa, 30, played nine games for the Punjab Kings, scoring 206 runs at a high strike pace of 159.68.
He currently has an agreement with Dubai Capitals in UAE’s forthcoming ILT20 rivalry right on time one year from now. UAE is likewise the nation where Rajapaksa hit 53 off 31 balls in a Super 10 match against Bangladesh in last ‘ear’s’Men’s T20 World Cup, which got Sri Lanka a five-wicket triumph.
“Returning to the Sri Lankan side, I have gotten a ton of energy in the wake of addressing a ton of the IPL players, such as Shikhar Dhawan, Mayank Agarwal, and K.G (Kagiso Rabada). I don’t think have the opportunity and energy to make sense of exhaustively the discussions we had, however, there were a lot of uplifting tones. I’m trusting we can take that equivalent brand of cricket to the world,” Rajapaksa was cited as saying by ESPNCricinfo.
He further uncovered a talk he had with hard-hitting England player Liam Livingstone in his IPL stretch recently, which affected him. “As far as I might be concerned, the experience I get in the wake of playing the IPL will make great energy for the side. Quite possibly of the best talk, I had with Liam (Livingstone) was the point at which he said, ‘Assuming it’s in the V, ensure the ball is in the trees’. He’d recently be just forceful. Legitimate hammer bang player.”
Sri Lanka is the second-best side in the Asia Cup title, winning the prize multiple times after India’s seven title wins. Be that as it may, their last Asia Cup triumph came in Bangladesh in 2014. They will trust that success against Afghanistan to open the Asia Cup 2022 in T20I configuration will lead them to their 6th title.
