Rajapaksa who is soon to link up with his Indian Premier League franchise, Punjab Kings, will be sporting the Chariot logo on his bat during the tournament.

“I will be carrying the Chariot logo in the IPL and hopefully for many more years to come,” Rajapaksa said.

He further shared that he intends to launch a cricket academy in the future, working alongside Chairman of Asriel Holdings (Pvt.) Ltd., Shiran Peiris.

“Shiran and I want to start a cricket academy as well. We want to sponsor a few players every year. We see a lot of talent in Sri Lanka but the issue is developing that talent,” he expressed.
