Matheestha Pathirana To Play In CSK vs RCB: SL Reporter Slams ESPN For Fake News
Pathirana with IPL 2023 Trophy
In a recent development, Matheesha Pathirana, the talented fast bowler from Sri Lanka, has been given the green light to participate in the highly anticipated clash between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024.
However, amidst the excitement surrounding his return, a Sri Lankan reporter has criticized ESPN for allegedly spreading misinformation regarding Pathirana's status.
Pathirana, who suffered a hamstring injury during Sri Lanka's ODI series against Bangladesh, has made a remarkable recovery according to his manager, Amila Kalugalage, who provided an update on social media. Kalugalage's announcement has undoubtedly thrilled fans eagerly awaiting Pathirana's explosive bowling in the IPL.
Initially sidelined due to a Grade 1 hamstring tear, Pathirana's swift recuperation has paved the way for his anticipated return to action. While there were concerns regarding his availability for the early matches of the T20 extravaganza, Pathirana's readiness to unleash his "Thunder balls" has put those doubts to rest.
