The most valuable player has to be Matheesha Pathirana: Aakash Chopra lauds young CSK pacer
Former Indian batter Aakash Chopra recently hailed CSK youngster Matheesha Pathirana for his wonderful match-winning spell against Mumbai Indians.
Speaking in a video shared on his YouTube channel, Chopra compared Pathirana with legendary Sri Lankan pacer Lasith Malinga, saying:
"The most valuable player has to be Matheesha Pathirana. You can call him Lasith Malinga lite or Lasith Malinga 2.0. His release point has gone even below Malinga. If he goes below that, it will be a no-ball."
He added:
"He didn't pick up wickets in the first few games but since he has started taking wickets, he is absolutely consistent. He finishes the ball within the stumps, has a very good slower one, and it is almost impossible to hit him in a day game because dew does not come and he gets reverse swing."
CSK will next face Delhi Capitals on May 10 in Chennai.
