Matheesha Pathirana

Chennai Super Kings, amidst speculations of interest from another IPL franchise, posted a cryptic message on Saturday, 9 December.

The Sri Lankan pacer, retained by Chennai Super Kings for IPL 2024, shared a picture with the caption, “No money can buy loyalty.”

This reaction follows CSK’s decision to retain Pathirana, who played a crucial role in the team’s 2023 IPL victory, claiming 19 wickets in 12 matches at an economy rate of 8.00.

A shoulder injury sidelined the talented pacer during the 2023 ODI World Cup, despite his promising performance in the 2023 Asia Cup, where he secured 11 wickets in six matches.

“Stay safe, my Chennai! The storm may be fierce, but our resilience is stronger. Better days are just around the corner. Take care, stay indoors, and look out for one another,” he wrote on X. – (CricToday)
