Kudos to Bangladesh think tank for backing Rishad Hossain because of their reluctance to play professional wrist spinners in the past. He has regained his faith by turning two games in the head in this tournament.

He can literally see CSK getting Rishad Hossain and dropping Maheesh Theekshana. I didn’t watch today but I have watched him in 2 other games. You are better than scamranga.
