Who to play in place of Mustafizur Rahman

Today (April 5), at 8 PM Bangladesh Time, Sunrisers Hyderabad will face off against Chennai Super Kings (CSK). In the ongoing season, Mustafizur Rahman is not getting a chance to serve Chennai in their fourth match. The Fizz is currently in Bangladesh completing the necessary visa procedures before the World Cup.

Due to today's match, Bangladesh's star pacer is being missed. Hence, the question arises, who will take Mustafizur's place in the first three matches?

Matheesha Pathirana  had joined the team after recovering from an injury from the 2nd match. His teammate Maheesh Theekshana played only the 1st match so far. In place of Mustafizur, he will get his 2nd chance today. 

Chennai will employ similar tactics against Sunrisers Hyderabad in today's match. In the previous matches, if they batted first, Shivam Dube took charge, and if they bowled first, Mathias Pathiranha did. These two will play the role of impact players.

Probable Chennai Super Kings XI:

Rachin Ravindra, Ruturaj Gaikwad (Captain), Ajinkya Rahane, Daryl Mitchell, Shivam Dube/Matheesha Pathiranha (Impact Player), Sameer Rizvi, Ravindra Jadeja, MS Dhoni (Wicketkeeper), Deepak Chahar, Tushar Deshpande, Maheesh Theekshana.

Chennai Super Kings are currently placed third in the points table with 2 wins in 3 matches. On the other hand, Sunrisers Hyderabad, with 1 win in 3 matches, is positioned seventh. Both teams will aim to increase their victory count and points today.
