Mitchell Santner could, if at all, replace Theekshana. Pathirana is a seam bowler who excels in death overs. Under MS Dhoni, he is blossoming. Pathirana is used as a remote control by Dhoni, and he does whatever Dhoni wants.
As a result, I will not replace Pathirana, Kartik said during a Cricbuzz discussion. Kartik went on to say that Santner deserves a spot on the team because he can contribute in all three areas: batting, bowling, and fielding.
For CSK, seam bowling is a weak link. Akash Singh performed admirably in the previous game, bowling four consecutive overs. Mitchell Santner bowls well against any batter in any situation, as I’ve said since the beginning. There is no better bowler batter than Santner.

And he’s a great gun fielder; his arm movement is flawless. So, in my opinion, he should be included. However, MS sees the game differently, he added. CSK currently leads the IPL 2023 points table, with RR in third place. Notably, RR defeated CSK in the rematch earlier this month.
