The Sri Lankan spinner who was seen celebrating in a special manner after taking a wicket said that he has been inspired by Brazil football star Neymar Jr.

"My favorite footballer is Neymar and that is his celebration which I do," Hasaranga said.

Meanwhile, KKR skipper Shreyas Iyer lavished praise on Hasaranga's spell of 4/20. "He (Wanindu Hasaranga) bowled really well, he got off to a good start after getting my wicket. I was able to read him pretty well at the start. We had decided that we'll play him as an off-spinner but unfortunately he bowled really good lines and lengths. He's also very experienced and he was getting some help on this wicket. Congratulations to him."
