Apart from this, he also took one wicket for 29 runs in 4 overs against Gujarat Titans. The Chennai team was hopeful that Pathirana would return in the fourth match also, but due to injury he was out of the team. He could not play the first match against RCB, after which Pathira was also ruled out of the fourth match due to injury. According to media reports, today Mathisha Pathira can be seen playing a match against Kolkata. If he returns, he will be seen in his old colors again. With this, it will not be easy for Kolkata to register a win against Chennai.
Mustafizur also returned
Before the match against Kolkata Knight Riders, Chennai Super Kings have not one but two good news. Mathisha Pathira can return after injury, apart from this, the return of Bangladeshi fast bowler Mustafizur Rahman is also certain. In such a situation, the return of both the precious gems of Chennai against Kolkata will provide a lot of strength in the match against Kolkata. Mustafizur Rahman had returned to his native Bangladesh for a visa in view of the ICC T20 World Cup, but now he too has joined Chennai. If Kolkata wants to maintain its dominance in IPL 2024, then it will have to be careful of these two fast bowlers.
