Without the services of Finn Allen and Scott Kuggeleijn, Royal Challengers Bangalore will start the second round of IPL 2021 in UAE in September. As the New Zealand duo will be busy with international commitments.
Even the Royal Challengers will miss the services of Australia’s Kane Richardson, Daniel Sams and Adam Zampa. Because Adam Zampa, Daniel Sams and Kane Richardson have declared themselves unavailable for the second leg of the tournament.
However, Royal Challengers Bangalore have strengthened their squad for the rest of the IPL 2021 by adding Sri Lankan bowling duo Dushmantha Chameera and all-rounder Wanindu Hasaranga along with Singaporean cricketer Tim David in their squad.

Hasaranga has been doing great for Sri Lanka in white cricket for the last one year. Hasaranga is currently the No. 2 bowler in the T20 international rankings.
Even Chameera and Hasaranga were an integral part of the limited-overs series against India last July. Both the bowlers gave great performances in that series.

Particular Hasaranga was great. He took 7 wickets in three matches and helped Sri Lanka win the series. This all-rounder also played an important role with the bat in the last two matches. Chameera, on the other hand, impressed India’s head coach Rahul Dravid with his bowling during the India tour.
Meanwhile, Team David is an expert in T20 cricket. He has scored 1171 runs in 49 matches at a great strike rate of 155.
