“Having a headache is a good thing,” Lakshmipathy Balaji said regarding CSK’s bowling depth

Despite the performance of CSK batters, the bowlers excelled in the first inning and helped the side confine RCB to a sensible score. Bangladesh star pacer Mustafizur Rahman was the saint of the match, claiming a four-wicket haul for 29 runs. Mustafizur’s efforts in making a big appearance for Chennai were lauded by numerous, and the previous CSK bowler Balaji was the later one to do so.

He feels that Matheesha Pathirana fits into the void left by Dwayne Bravo. “For an unused entrant like Mustafizur to perform on the very first day with amusement was marvellous. But what Pathirana did was give the pad CSK needed for a long time, especially after Bravo, since Bravo utilized to give that pad during the passing overs to CSK,” Balaji said on ‘Star Sports Press Room.’ “Pathirana straightaway got fit into that role, and it probably depends on how well modern ball bowlers bowl according to that; likely, Pathirana might have to hold up.

Since Mustafizur can bowl in the passing and at the start as well, So likely, from that viewpoint, I feel it’s a great migraine to have when you have a fit Pathirana into the side,” the 42-year-old added. He further emphasized the importance of Gaikwad’s understanding of perusing the game and making choices appropriately.

So Ruturaj will have to get some understanding and time.
