In front of ‘Baby Malinga’, Vadhera, who scored runs in the valley, threw the balls, the dangerous yorkers flew ‘Asha’.

Chennai Super Kings vs Mumbai Indians teams face each other in the 49th match of IPL 2023 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. On Saturday (May 6), the Mumbai team batted first in this match. Mumbai had a bad start in this match, but then the batsman Nehal Vadra was leading the innings of the Mumbai team at a fast pace. This time seeing his batting may have made Chennai team and fans sweat. However, Chennai’s young fast bowler Mathisha Pathirana showed Nehal the way to the tent by blasting a hat-trick. Meanwhile, his video is also going viral on social media.

The Mumbai team lost the toss and went into bat. This time, Mumbai lost the first three wickets in quick succession within 3 overs. Mumbai lost their first wicket in the form of Cameron Green (6) on 13 off the fifth ball of the second over. Mumbai then suffered a shock in the form of Ishan Kishan (7) on the second ball of the third over. Rohit Sharma, the captain who came to bat, could not perform well this time. He too returned to the tent at 0 off 3 balls. After this three batsmen saved Mumbai’s innings. It included Suryakumar Yadav, Nehal Vadra and Tristan Stubbs.

Surya and Nehal put together a 55-run partnership for the fourth wicket. Both included 26 runs each. After Surya was dismissed for 26, Nehal shared a 54-run partnership with Stubbs for the fifth wicket. This included Stubbs’ 13 and Nehal’s 37. Nehal was playing on 64 runs off 51 balls this time. It included 1 six and 8 fours. However, Nehal lost his wicket on the bowling of Mathisha Pathirana, who was bowling the 18th over from Chennai.

Pathirana is known as ‘Baby Malinga’ by his fans due to his bowling action similar to legendary fast bowler Lasith Malinga. It was Pathirana who bowled the first ball to Stubbs. He did not run on it. Then on the second ball, Stubbs took a run and gave the strike to Nehal. As Nehal moved forward a little while playing Pathirana’s third ball, the bowler bowled a quick yorker and sent Nehal to a triple. His yorker that took Nehal’s wicket this time was a sight to behold.
