He Has Been Consistent – S Sreesanth
Speaking on Star Sports, Sreesanth stated MS Dhoni would help gamers even once they weren’t a part of the beginning XI. Sreesanth identified that Pathirana had good yorkers and a slower ball.
“They have found that person. If he can bat also, he can be a proper replacement for Bravo. But the wicket-taking ability that Pathirana has got is amazing. Not just the yorkers but he has got a beautiful slower ball. It’s difficult for the batter to read him. Dhoni also pointed out that bowlers with difficult action are always difficult to pick,” S Sreesanth stated.
