Bangar did not completely rule out the possibility that Hasaranga would play in Royal Challengers’ upcoming match against Lucknow Super Giants on April 10 at home.
“Hasaranga will arrive for us on the 10th. So we’ll have to consider that as well as how he handles the lengthy flight from New Zealand. We now have another headache, but it’s a good headache because Karn [Sharma] has been taking his chances extremely well.”
