Matheesha Pathirana has been the best fast bowler in the CSK squad this season. The Sri Lankan has been able to follow the footsteps of the great Lasith Malinga and can surprise the batsmen with his variations. Adding on, his ability to generate serious pace makes life difficult for the batsmen.
During the crucial encounter against Mumbai Indians, Pathirana managed to pick up three wickets in four overs. He had an impressive economy rate of 3.75 during the game and he managed to grab the wickets of Nehal Wadhera, Arshad Khan, and Tristan Stubbs. Thanks to Pathirana, Mumbai Indians managed to put up a modest total of 139 runs on the board.
His skills were on display yet again against Delhi Capitals as he went on to pick up three wickets in his four overs. This time, he went on to pick up the wickets of Manish Pandey, Axar Patel, and Lalit Yadav. Luckily for MS Dhoni, Pathirana has been one of CSK's best death-over bowlers as well and it looks like he is here to stay in the Chennai-based franchise for quite some time.
