On Dhoni's advice, 17-year-old got a chance at CSK

By a Staff Reporter: It is said, what he hands, so gold grows. His eyes are jewels. He is 'Captain Cool' Mahendra Singh Dhoni. During the IPL season, his team, Chennai Super Kings, had an extra focus from the very beginning. Because CSK has won five trophies in IPL. Now Chennai Super Kings have added a shelf pacer to the camp on the advice of Dhoni.

A college match in Sri Lanka. St. John's College on one side. Jaffna Central College on the other side. A video of that match went viral on social media. Jaffner boy, age 17, bowled a yorker after a right-handed bowler smashed the batter. That bowler's name is Kugadas Mathulan.

Dhoni saw that video. He immediately informed the management of Chennai Super Kings. Then CSK contacted Kugadas. The Sri Lankan youngster has been called upon to bowl in the CSK net.

Lasith Malinga is the first person you think of when you see this Kugadas Mathulan. Like him he knows how to deliver the perfect yorker. Check out this amazing yorker shot by this young star.
