HIGHLIGHT
- Irfan Pathan said Chris Morris can replace Dale Steyn in the game eleven
- Pathan said giving Shivam Dube the ball in death overs was not a good idea
- Irfan Pathan added that RCB’s hitting unit was also better compared to previous years.
Former Indian off-roader Irfan Pathan has said the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) problem is temporary and the team’s performance would improve with the arrival of their star off-roader Chris Morris, who is recovering from a lateral injury.
Irfan Pathan calculated that the arrival of Morris in the eleven of the game will mean the expulsion of his compatriot Dale Steyn.
The other change Pathan felt that RCB should make is to not give Shivam Dube the responsibilities of bowling. In particular, Shivam Dube has leaked as many as 23 runs in the 20th against Kings XI Punjab, who went on to post 206 runs on board.

Look, I think they’ll get better as soon as Chris Morris comes in. I see Morris come in, Steyn come out and they’re ready. What I don’t want from RCB is Shivam Dube bowling at Death Over. They have a better team, comparatively, they have better hitters, “Irfan Pathan said on Star Sports’ Cricket Connected.
Irfan Pathan added that, as in previous seasons, RCB doesn’t just rely on Captain Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers when it comes to their hitting potential. He said the addition of Aaron Finch and a good start from Devdutt Padikkal will help them this season.
Irfan Pathan also supported Navdeep Saini to throw at least two overs towards the end for RCB.
“They not only depend on AB de Villiers or Virat Kohli. This year they also have Aaron Finch, Paddikal started very well. So there are a lot of positives, but in the last game, the way they threw Shivam Dube at Navdeep Saini He should throw a minimum of 2 overs on death because he is the guy who can catch those Yorkers as well as fool hitters and ball gorillas on death, ”stated Irfan Patha.
