Chennai Super Kings are relying heavily on Mustafizur Rahman. The cutter master is also reciprocating the trust. Although the list of highest wicket takers has fallen a little lower, the gap with the top five is not much. He is sixth with 11 wickets in six matches.
Jasprit Bumrah who is on top has taken 13 wickets, played eight matches. Sam Karan, who took the same 11 wickets as Mustafiz, also played eight matches. Chennai will return to the field in the IPL today (April 23). The team will host Lucknow Super Giants at the home ground MA Chidambaram Stadium.
In the last match, Chennai lost to Lucknow by a big margin of eight wickets. Mustafiz scored 43 runs in four overs in that match. He gave 15 runs in the first two overs but spent 28 runs in the last two overs. In the end, however, he took the wicket of Quinton de Kock. Today’s match will be held in Chennai. Mustafiz bowled well in this field. Even after the failure of the previous match, there will be no surprise if he is trusted today.
About Mustafiz, Chennai’s batting coach Mike Hussey said, ‘He has a good slower ball. They are difficult to deal with, especially on the ground in Chennai. He will not be with us much longer, his country has called him. I will keep him as long as possible.’
