Chennai Super Kings dealt a major blow as Matheesha Pathirana, their key fast bowler, is sidelined with a hamstring injury and has flown back to Sri Lanka for recovery. He is likely to miss the rest of IPL 2024.

Matheesha Pathirana, the Sri Lankan speedster, took 13 wickets in six matches for Chennai Super Kings, proving to be their go-to player with an economy rate of 7.18 whenever CSK faced challenges.

Previously, Mustafizur Rahman finished his stint with Chennai Super Kings and has now returned to Bangladesh for national duties, ruling him out for the rest of the tournament.

Adding to their woes, Deepak Chahar has also suffered a serious injury and will miss the rest of the season for CSK. With these setbacks, Chennai Super Kings’ fast bowling lineup appears significantly weakened.
