Tested pacer Mathisha Pathirana could not play in the first match for Chennai Super Kings due to not being fully fit. Instead, Mustafizur Rahman got a chance in the XI. And Bajimat got the chance. In the first 2 overs, Royal Challengers took four wickets of Bangalore with only 7 runs. In the end, he was the man of the match after taking 4 wickets with 29 runs in 4 overs.
Chennai will take on Gujarat Titans in the second match on Tuesday night. Who defeated Mumbai Indians in the first match. However, Chennai is in trouble in this match. Will they play Mustafizur Rahman or a fully fit Pathirana?
Former Indian pacer Lakshmipati Balaji said, ‘It will be difficult to keep a pacer like Pathirana. Again, the performance of Mustafiz in the first match will not be right to sit him.
“However, the way Mustafiz bowls the quality of the new ball and the way he can bowl at the end, maybe he will get a place in the XI instead of Pathirana.” He added.
The two can not be played together? However, Balaji rejected that possibility.
