IPL 2024: Pathirana Made The Difference For CSK, Says Skipper Hardik Pandya After Mi Go Down By 20 Runs
Chennai Super Kings: Mumbai Indians skipper Hardik Pandya picked Chennai Super Kings' Sri Lankan pacer Matheesha Pathirana as the reason for his team's 20-run defeat in Match 29 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) at the Wankhede Stadium on Sunday.
Pathirana, who came in as an Impact Substitute, made the difference as he finished with 4-28 in four overs as Mumbai Indians lost the plot from 70 for no loss in the eighth over.
It was in this over that Pathirana made the breakthrough for CSK by getting rid of Ishan Kishan for 23 off 15 and followed it up by getting the dangerous Suryakumar Yadav for a zero with a short and wide delivery. From 70/2, Mumbai Indians failed to recover and despite a brilliant century by former skipper Rohit Sharma, were restricted to 186/6 in 20 overs.
