Sri Lanka fast bowler Matheesha Pathirana has joined the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) camp ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season. The talented pacer has been a part of CSK since 2022 and is gearing up for another exciting season.

Matheesha Pathirana Stuns CSK Camp

During a recent practice session, Pathirana looked in great form. In a video shared by CSK’s official social media account, the right-arm pacer was seen bowling in his trademark sling action. His delivery was so accurate and powerful that it hit the stumps and flew straight toward the coaching staff standing nearby. 

One of the coaching staff member had to jump out of the way to avoid getting hit, leaving everyone stunned.


Pathirana is one of the five players CSK retained before the IPL 2025 mega auction. The franchise secured his services for a whopping ₹13 crore. He had a fantastic IPL 2023 season, picking up 19 wickets in 12 matches at an economy rate of 8 runs per over. Despite missing part of last season due to injury, he still managed to grab 13 wickets in just six games, with an impressive economy rate of 7.68 runs per over.

CSK will begin their IPL 2025 campaign with a high-voltage clash against their arch-rivals, Mumbai Indians (MI), on March 23 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.
