Matheesha Pathirana’s performance in the SA20 clash between Joburg Super Kings and Durban Super Giants has sparked outrage among Chennai Super Kings (CSK) fans.

The young pacer, who is also set to represent CSK in IPL 2025 after being retained for a hefty 13 crore, struggled with his line and length throughout the match.

Matheesha Pathirana, who was brought in to bowl 3 overs, conceded a total of 34 runs and managed to pick up just one wicket. His most disappointing spell came in the 12th over of Durban’s run chase.

During this over, Pathirana bowled two wides and went on to concede 18 runs. Despite the poor performance, he did manage to dismiss Heinrich Klaasen, but that wasn’t enough to silence the criticism from fans.

Adding to the disappointment, Pathirana bowled a total of 7 wides during the match, further showing his lack of control and consistency with the ball throughout the game.

Social media exploded with frustration as CSK fans voiced their concerns over Pathirana’s inconsistent bowling, particularly his wide-line deliveries.

Many criticized him for relying heavily on these wide balls and questioned whether he had enough variety in his bowling arsenal to make an impact at the IPL level.

With CSK retaining him for IPL 2025, fans are worried that Pathirana’s struggles in the SA20 may translate to his IPL performance, given his tendency to bowl wide deliveries.

Take a look at some of the reactions:
