Matheesha Pathirana has played four matches in the IPL 2025

Matheesha Pathirana has played four matches in the IPL 2025 so far and has picked 5 wickets at an economy of 9 and an average of just under 30. There's no doubt that if Chennai Super Kings needs to stage a comeback, he will have to take charge with the ball.

The Chennai Super Kings are having a tough time in the ongoing IPL 2025. CSK is at the 9th spot in the points table and has lost 4 out of their five games. Their only win came in the game against the Mumbai Indians, which was their opening encounter in the league.

Chennai Super Kings will be captained by MS Dhoni for the rest of the season

Chennai Super Kings will be captained by MS Dhoni for the rest of the season. The development was made public after regular skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad was ruled out of the IPL 2025 after the scans revealed that he had fractured his elbow following the blow that he coped against the Rajasthan Royals.

The absence of Ruturaj Gaikwad, no doubt, will be a massive blow for Chennai Super Kings in the league. But the return of MS Dhoni as a skipper will be a boost for the team, especially at a time when they are struggling to win. The last time he captained the team, he took them to a win in the IPL 2023 final.

The game against Chennai Super Kings will be extremely important for the five-time champions. A win here would give them two important points, but if they managed another loss, it would make things tough for them in the league.
