Chennai Super Kings have been dealt a significant blow with the injury to Sri Lankan pacer Matheesha Pathirana.
“Chennai Super Kings pacer Matheesha Pathirana is grappling with a hamstring injury and will be returning to Sri Lanka for further rehabilitation,” stated a media release from CSK.
Pathirana emerged as a standout bowler for CSK throughout the tournament, having claimed 13 wickets at an economy rate of 7.68.
This setback compounds CSK’s troubles, as Deepak Chahar is also sidelined with a serious injury that is likely to keep him out for the rest of the season.
CSK, having had a mixed season thus far, currently sit fifth on the points table.
Matheesha Pathirana is an emerging fast bowler from Sri Lanka, known for his raw pace and ability to generate bounce.
Hailing from the town of Badulla, Pathirana caught the attention of cricket enthusiasts at a young age with his impressive performances in domestic cricket and age-group tournaments.
He made his mark in the Sri Lankan Under-19 team, showcasing his potential with his bowling prowess.
Pathirana’s breakthrough moment came when he was signed by the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) for the Indian Premier League (IPL), a testament to his talent and promise as a fast bowler.
Despite his relatively young age and limited experience at the international level, Pathirana’s inclusion in the CSK squad speaks volumes about the high regard in which he is held by the cricketing fraternity.
With his pace and ability to trouble batsmen, Pathirana has the potential to become a key asset for Sri Lanka in the future.
His journey in cricket is one that many are eagerly watching, as he continues to develop his skills and make strides towards becoming a formidable force in the world of cricket.
