CSK are also waiting on the status of Deepak Chahar, who suffered an injury against Punjab Kings in Chennai
Chennai Super Kings have suffered a significant blow with their death-bowling specialist Matheesha Pathirana returning to Sri Lanka to recover from a hamstring injury.
After missing the home fixture against Punjab Kings in Chennai, Pathirana was also ruled out of the reverse fixture in Dharamsala on Sunday. His absence further depletes CSK, who were already without Deepak Chahar, their powerplay specialist. It’s understood Chahar didn’t travel to Dharamsala and is waiting for his scan reports in Chennai.
Pathirana played only six games for CSK in IPL 2024, taking 13 wickets with an economy of 7.68.
