If he can hit sixes, I don’t care about fitness. I don’t want him to run 100 meters in 10 seconds – Anil Kumble’s statement about Bhanuka Rajapaksa
Bhanuka Rajapaksa is also playing for Punjab Kings in this year’s IPL tournament. Bhanuka Rajapaksa also managed to score a quick half-century against Kolkata Knight Riders in the first match played by Punjab Kings in this tournament.
Meanwhile, the team’s batting consultant has said that the selection of Bhanuka Rajapaksa in the team was entirely based on the sole decision of former Indian spinner and Punjab Kings head coach Anil Kumble.
Additionally, according to Julian Wood, “Anil Kumble saw Bhanuka playing and said ‘I’ll pick him’.” We told him not to select Bhanu as he is not fit enough.
At that time, he said, ‘If he can hit sixes, I don’t care about fitness. I don’t want him to run 100 meters in 10 seconds. I want him to hit incoming balls for sixes.
