🚨 Matheesha Pathirana Ruled Out Of IPL 2025? CSK Insider Drops Major Bombshell

The Chennai Super Kings (CSK) kicked off their IPL 2025 journey with a dominant win over Mumbai Indians, but the big question fans are asking is: Where is Matheesha Pathirana? 🧐

The absence of the Sri Lankan speedster in CSK’s playing XI raised eyebrows, and now, shocking insider news suggests he might miss the entire season due to injury. 😱

🤕 Pathirana’s Injury – What We Know So Far

• 📍 Did not play in CSK's opening match vs MI

• 🔍 CSK has not released an official statement yet

• 🗣️ Insider info suggests:

  • Pathirana is injured

  • Injury possibly due to his remodelled bowling action

  • Could be ruled out of IPL 2025

💬 A source close to CSK shared this news with Kris Srikkanth, raising serious concerns about Pathirana's availability.

🟡 What It Means for CSK

Despite the uncertainty, CSK remains undefeated so far, thanks to a strong bowling and batting performance against MI. However, losing Pathirana could be a massive blow to their death-overs strategy. 💔

🧢 Replacement Options for CSK

In Pathirana’s absence, Nathan Ellis (Australia) was brought in for the match vs Mumbai. But if Pathirana is ruled out entirely, CSK may:

• 🔄 Sign a replacement from the pool of unsold players

• 🎯 Look for a bowler who can:

  • Bowl at the death with precision

  • Offer pace variations like Pathirana

  • Fit into the overseas player quota

Possible replacement candidates (unsold/injury cover):

• 🏹 Riley Meredith

• 💥 Blessing Muzarabani

• ⚡ Ishant Sharma (if local replacement allowed)

• 🎯 Josh Little (if available)

✅ CSK’s Strong Start to IPL 2025

• 🆚 vs MI – Won by 5 wickets

• 🔥 Restricted Mumbai to 155

• 🧹 Chased the target in 19.1 overs with ease

🔮 What’s Next?

Until official confirmation comes from CSK or IPL, Pathirana’s status remains uncertain. However, fans and fantasy players alike should brace themselves for a potential season-long absence. 💔
