Ex-Sri Lanka pacer Lasith Malinga has praised 20-year-old Sri Lankan pacer Matheesha Pathirana, who bowled the 18th and the 20th over for CSK and helped them defend their 226-run total against RCB yesterday. "Loved the way you handled the pressure at the death. Excellent execution," tweeted Malinga. Interestingly, Pathirana's bowling action is similar to the way Malinga used to bowl.
