Sri Lanka all-rounder Wanindu Hasaranga has 161 T20I wickets and 831 T20I runs, with Desert Vipers and Sylhet Titans among his teams.
Hasaranga explained
Wanindu Hasaranga gives Sri Lankan cricket an all-rounder who can influence a T20I with ball and bat in the same side. Across his T20I career he has built a reputation around wicket-taking spells, with 161 wickets in 98 matches for the national team. That output makes him a frontline option for Sri Lanka and a familiar figure in global T20 leagues.
At 29, Hasaranga is an all-rounder whose value comes from contributing in both disciplines rather than specialising in one. His T20I batting has brought 831 runs, while his franchise profile for the 2026 season lists Desert Vipers and the Bangladesh Premier League. Earlier team rows place him with Colombo Cricket Club and Sylhet Titans, showing a career split between Sri Lankan domestic cricket and overseas leagues.
