Matheesha Pathirana could have run out with a bagful of wickets to make sure Chennai Super Kings defended 206 with out a lot sweat towards Mumbai Indians on the Wankhede Stadium. As a lot as Pathirana, CSK bowling coach Eric Simons credited Mumbai’s tempo duo of Shardul Thakur and Tushar Deshpande for his or her excellent bowling effort.
“The unsung heroes tonight were Tushar and Shardul. Shardul bowled one of the best overs I have ever seen. We talk about execution; you have got to look at the impact points in that over he went for two runs.
The whole game turns at that moment. At that stage they were looking at 12s-13s an over, the game’s very much in the balance. He bowls the over and it goes up at 14. The game turned there,” Simons mentioned after the sport on the Wankhede Stadium.
While Shardul conceded simply two runs within the 14th over, Deshpande adopted it up with one which gave away simply three runs and picked a wicket to actually shut the door on Rohit Sharma and Co.
“Matheesha will get a lot of accolades and he deserves it because of the way he bowled and the breakthroughs he gave us. But those two gentlemen did extremely well for us to push the rate out of reach out of MI.”
“I said to him afterwards, the wickets are a bonus but his accuracy was really good. Sometimes you’ll bowl accurately but not get wickets. Tonight he was accurate and got wickets,” Simons mentioned of Pathirana.
