CSK coach Stephen Fleming shared that Matheesha Pathirana’s injury is minor, and he might join soon, if not on April 14th’s clash against MI.
The much-anticipated clash between the Mumbai Indians (MI) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the Wankhede Stadium on Sunday faces a potential setback for the yellow camp as star pacer Matheesha Pathirana might miss the game.
Pathirana has already been absent from Chennai’s previous matches against Sunrisers Hyderabad and Kolkata Knight Riders due to a hamstring injury. However, CSK coach Stephen Fleming provided a glimmer of hope, suggesting the injury might not be as serious as initially thought.

“It (Pathirana‘s niggle) was not as bad as what we had thought, so we are very hopeful that if not tomorrow, then very close. We know the importance of him in games like this, but we will make sure he is 100 percent in this form,” Fleming was quoted as saying by NDTV.
Fleming’s report came as a relief to the Chennai camp, indicating the pacer might be available soon; however, without him, too, Ruturaj and Co. are doing fine for themselves. The CSK camp has won three out of the five matches they have played, maintaining a healthy net run rate of +0.666. They currently sit in third place on the IPL points table. Chennai will face the Mumbai Indians today, i.e., on April 14th, at Wankhede Stadium.
