India spin veteran Ravichandran Ashwin on Wednesday spoke about Sri Lanka and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) pacer Matheesha Pathirana’s bowling action and pointed out that A youngster put huge pressure on his back while bowling and “got into an awkward position”. The 21-year-old pacer was one of the standout performers in CSK’s fifth title-winning season last year, taking 19 wickets at an average of 19.52. The pacer recently suffered a hamstring injury in the second T20I against Bangladesh this month. He has played 12 ODIs and 6 T20Is for Sri Lanka.
Ashwin said on his YouTube channel on Wednesday that Patialana’s release angle was low, which put pressure on his back and his front legs “collapsed” while releasing the ball.

Shwin said Malinga’s lateral movement was “nice” and it was much better for his body and back. The feet are “parallel to the crease.”
“One problem he had but Malinga didn’t was that he came out of the ball at a much lower angle. That put a huge amount of pressure on his back and when he came out of the ball, his front legs almost collapsed; his core was damaged Too much stimulation, and “it’s very taxing. Lasith Malinga chose a beautiful side-lying position. His back and feet will be parallel to the crease. But Pathirana did not understand this. The action is devastating, it’s spinning, the torque is huge,” said Ashwin.
Ashwin later pointed out that while Malinga spoke highly of the young pacer, he was getting into “dangerous situations and complicated situations”.
“I understand the complexities facing him are different, but he’s facing different issues now. It’s probably just the early stages for him and his body needs more fuel, but he’s getting into some dangerous situations and complications. In fact, I worked with Malinga many times and Malinga himself told me that he was a good prospect but he was put in an awkward situation and that’s how I felt,” he added.
