If we had not done this then it would not have been a big thing.”

Even if Virat performs well, there is no guarantee whether RCB will win the trophy or not – Harbhajan Singh
Virat Kohli has been playing for RCB for the last 16 years. Virat Kohli (Photo Source: Getty Images) Former India bowling legend Harbhajan Singh believes that poor batting record at Chennai Super Kings’ home ground, MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chepauk, has diminished Virat Kohli’s “greatness” in the IPL on that ground. The former captain of Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) has played a total of 12 matches at the Chepauk ground, scoring 362 runs at an average of 30.17 and a strike rate of 111.38. This is his lowest average compared to any other Indian ground where he has played at least 10 IPL matches. The last time he scored a half-century here was in 2013. Harbhajan Singh gave a big statement regarding Virat Kohli’s performance “Virat’s greatness has diminished in terms of his overall performance on that field,” Harbhajan said on Star Sports. It is a difficult ground to bat on. The bounce of the ball on that ground is quite uneven due to which it is a bit difficult to bat there. They have Jadeja, a brilliant bowler who bowls stump to stump. He will turn some balls and then leave some balls low. It is really difficult.” Bhajji further said, “If he is really ready to bat around 20 overs, he can put in a match-winning performance because it is easy to score two centuries at Chinnaswamy (RCB’s home ground) but it is not guaranteed at Chepauk. “ The former spinner said that it is not that if Virat performs well then RCB will win the title this season. But they would like Kohli to perform the way he did in IPL 2016. There he scored 973 runs at an average of 81.08 with a strike rate of 152.03. The former veteran spinner said that, Harbhajan said, “It is important for him to have a season like 2016, because if Virat scores runs then the team will progress. I don’t know whether they will win the cup or not.
If Mathisha Pathirana is out of IPL, CSK’s problems will increase – big prediction of former KKR batsman
Matheesha Pathirana. (Photo Source: Twitter/IPL) Former Team India cricketer Aakash Chopra believes that Chennai Super Kings (CSK) may face problems if Mathisha Pathirana is not available for the initial matches of IPL 2024. Pathirana took 19 wickets in 12 matches at an economy rate of 8.00 in IPL 2023 and was a specialist death bowler for the five-time champions. The Sri Lankan fast bowler recently suffered a hamstring injury and was ruled out of the last match of the three-match T20 series against Bangladesh. In a video shared on his YouTube channel, Chopra said that Pathirana’s exclusion could create some problems for CSK. If Mathisha Pathirana is out then CSK’s problems will increase. He said, “Pathirana is injured. There is no clarity on his availability but will his injury cause any problems to Chennai Super Kings? They may have a bit of a problem because Pathirana is their leading bowler in the death overs.” During this, Chopra also admitted that the defending champions have other options for death bowling. But the former India opener believes that the unorthodox fast bowler may be missed. Chopra said, “However, now they have Shardul Thakur and Deepak Chahar is already there. He got a lot of bowling done by Mahesh Teekshana in the death overs, but he may feel the absence of Mathisha Pathirana a bit.” CSK have Mustafizur Rahman as another overseas seam-bowling option. If Pathirana is not available then the left-arm pacer from Bangladesh will probably be included in the playing XI as he can also bowl well in the death overs.
