However, there is no confirmation from Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) yet. If given clearance by SLC, Pathirana might feature in CSK\u2019s upcoming games in the IPL 2024.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Chennai won their opening match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) by six wickets thanks to a 4-29 haul by Bangladesh pacer Mustafizur Rahman.
