Sri Lankan fast bowler Mathisha Pathirana, who took 13 wickets in six matches of IPL 2024 for Chennai Super Kings, has been ruled out of the tournament and he confirmed his absence from the remaining matches of the tournament on Monday (May 6) on Instagram.
The Sri Lankan fast bowler missed CSK's two matches against Punjab Kings in Chennai and Dharamsala and there were doubts over his participation in the upcoming matches as well, but he confirmed through an Instagram post on Monday that he is out.
He shared a few pictures from his time with CSK in IPL 2024 and captioned the post, “A tough goodbye with my only wish to see the 2024 IPL champion trophy in the CSK room soon! Grateful to CSK team for all the blessings and love received from Chennai.
Mathisha Pathirana IPL career
Pathirana, who made his IPL debut for CSK in 2022, has impressed with his bowling this year and was the team’s second-highest wicket-taker after Mustafizur Rahman (14 wickets). His absence is a big setback for Men in Yellow because he was expected to play a big role for the franchise in the upcoming matches in Rahman’s absence. The Bangladeshi pacer has also left the IPL to return to his country as part of preparations for the 2024 T20 World Cup.
In IPL 2024, during CSK's match against Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium on April 14, Pathirana won the Player of the Match award for taking four wickets for 28 runs in four overs. In his last match for CSK against SRH in Chennai, Pathirana bowled two overs and dismissed Heinrich Klaasen and Jaydev Unadkat.
