Chennai: Star Doctors have stated that Sri Lankan fast bowler Dhezisha Bhatithona will be sidelined for several weeks due to a hamstring injury he sustained during the second Twenty20 match of the three-match Twenty20 series between the Bengaluru and Sri Lankan teams, which was played in Sylhet last week.
Devon Convey, the starting player for the CSK team, was earlier said to be injured and would not be able to play in the first half of the IPL tournament. News of Padriṭṭhāna's injury has since been released. For the CSK crew, this has proven to be a double blow.
The CSK team will suffer greatly from the loss of a senior. The Dhoni-led CSKA team's top-ball specialist in the last IPL series was the 21-year-old fast bowler बठिटोनामा.
Despite dropping 19 wickets in 12 matches, the CSKA team was a crucial factor in winning the cup in the most recent 2023 IPL series. However, after playing in the first half of the IPL series, he has lost confidence this time. As of right now, the evidence available indicates that Patiḥana will miss at least four to five weeks of the IPL season. It is confirmed that CSKA will miss the first few IPL matches in 2024.
Before granting them permission, the Sri Lankan Cricket Board would also exercise caution because the T20 World Cup 2024 will take place following the conclusion of the IPL 2024. As a result, the CSK team cannot rely on them exclusively.
