IPL 2025: Matheesha Pathirana set to miss CSK vs RCB game due to injury

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are set to play their second match against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in IPL 2025 on 28 March, Friday.

While this game will be extremely important for both teams due to their hyped rivalry, especially after the league stage confrontation in the previous season, CSK will remember its star bowler, Mathesh PathiranaIn the upcoming game. In particular, the bowler is suffering from injury and has not yet recovered, as the team's head coach Stephen Fleming has informed before all important matches.

The high-octane game will be in the prestigious MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chepack, Chennai, which is the Fort of CSK. It will not be easy for RCB to defeat the team with that kind of spin attack. The hosts have a solid trio of Nur Ahmed, Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin, who bowled brilliantly in the previous game against the arch-rivals Mumbai Indians (MI).

RCB has a good team this season. He defeated KKR very comfortably in his own backyard, so he will enter the competition with great confidence. However, a good spin attack may not be a good spin attack like his opponent. The last time these two teams met in the last season, RCB dropped the Chennai-based franchise from the tournament.

After the game, RCB fans trolled CSK fans. This is the main reason that the rivalry between the two franchises has become heated. Ruturaj Gikwad -led side would be keen to take revenge against RCB in the upcoming game. Meanwhile, the silver Patidar and the company will enter the game with confidence to start their victory in the ongoing tournament.
