The Bangladesh-Sri Lanka duel in international cricket has now got a different dimension. The match between these two Asian rivals means extra madness now. The same picture was seen in the latest series on the soil of Bangladesh. Two star pacers of two countries Mathisha Pathirana and Mustafizur Rahman are playing for the same team in IPL. Recently, the young Sri Lankan pacer of Chennai Super Kings talked about their relationship.

Mathisha Pathirana is a member of Chennai's last season's title-winning team. The Lankan pacer played an important role in Dhoni's championship. On the other hand, Mustafizur Rahman was named in the yellow camp in last December's auction. Although, due to his bad form, there was a lot of uncertainty about getting a place in the starting eleven of this Tiger pacer. However, Pathirana's injury brought him some luck.

The opportunity to debut in the yellow jersey came in the opening match. After that, there was no looking back. Fiz secured his place in the team by taking 4 wickets in the debut match and becoming the man of the match. Although Pathirana returned to the team after recovering from injury, Phiz was not left out. Instead, Chennai's power has increased in bowling with two pacers.

Several cricketers from Chennai participated in an event recently. Apart from captain Ruturaj Gaikwad and Shivam Dubey, Pathirana was also present. He was questioned about his relationship with Mustafiz on the occasion. In response, this Lankan pacer said that after seeing Mustafiz closely, he thought he was a good person.

Pathirana said, 'I didn't know him before joining the Chennai team. I never spoke to him. After coming here and getting to know him, I think he's a great person.'

It should be noted that Mustafiz is in great form for Chennai. So far, this Tiger pacer has taken 10 wickets in 5 matches. However, the time of Mustafiz's return to the country is approaching. BCB initially gave permission to this pacer to play IPL till April 30. After that, the board extended the clearance period by one more day.
