IPL 2025 has been nothing special for Chennai Super Kings. The performance of the team is not good, so now questions are also arising on the players. Chennai Super Kings fast bowler Mathisha Pathirana has also been questioned. Pathirana's line length does not look as before. They are leaking a lot of runs, which CSK is suffering. But the big thing is that CSK also has their option but then it is not being tried. Let us tell you who we are talking about.

Nathan Alice is not getting a chance

Mathisha Pathirana has been given Rs 12 crore by Chennai Super Kings. He considers Dhoni his cricket father but his performance this season has not been as expected. These players have managed to take five wickets in four matches, but they are failing to stop the run as before. This bowler scored 52 runs in 4 overs against Punjab Kings. His poor performance is affecting Chennai, who has won only one of the five matches. This is the reason why Irfan Pathan feels that now Nathan Ellis should give a chance.

Nathan Alice's T20 record

Talking about Nathan Ellis, he has 161 T20 matches in which he has taken 194 wickets. The economy rate of this player is just 8.1 runs per over. Alice is an important member of Australia's T20 team. The big thing is that they are considered to be the death over specialist who have the ability to throw exact yorker and bouncers in addition to slurry balls. Chennai's team currently won four out of five matches, if they give an opportunity to Ellis in the upcoming match, then their equation can change in this tournament. Chennai is currently to face KKR at its home ground, this match will be played on 11 April.
