Chennai Super Kings (CSK) bowling consultant Eric Simons said Bangladesh left-arm pacer Mustafizur Rahman brings something different with his left-arm angle and his bowling is suited to the nature of the pitches at the Chepauk.
Asked for the logic for the signing of Mustafizur, Simons said: “We would like a left-armer. That was obviously something we’ve worked with for a while now - to have somebody that does something a little bit different, the angle that he comes in at. But we just felt that he does suit the conditions (at Chepauk).”
Mustafizur starred with four for 29 in CSK’s six-wicket win over Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) here on Friday. RCB’s Dinesh Karthik appreciated Mustafizur’s bowling, especially on an atypical Chepauk pitch.
