In the 49th match of IPL 2024, Punjab Kings defeated Chennai Super Kings. With this defeat, Chennai's path to the playoffs has become difficult. In the match against PBKS, CSK took the field without their 5 match-winners. Some players got injured and some returned to their country. Sri Lankan players Mahish Tikhasna and Mathisha Pathira returned to their country due to the visa process for the T20 World Cup 2024.
Both players will join the team today
However, now there is good news for Chennai Super Kings. Pathirana and Tishna will join the team today after completing their visa process for the World Cup. Chennai Super Kings will face Punjab Kings in their next match on Sunday. This match will be played in Dharamshala. CSK has played 10 matches so far in the tournament and won 5. The team is at fifth position in the points table with 10 points.
Deepak Chahar injured
Chennai Super Kings fast bowler Deepak Chahar is injured. For this reason he could not even play the last match. If reports are to be believed, CSK's star bowler Deepak Chahar may be out of the entire season. Chennai Super Kings CEO Kashi Vishwanath said that Deepak Chahar is still injured. I will not say that he will be out of IPL 2024, but it is certain that he will not play. It can also happen outside. Chennai has to play the next match against Punjab Kings. CSK CEO also confirmed that Deepak will not be available for the match against Punjab. In such a situation, both these teams will suffer a setback in the middle of the tournament.
