Why won’t Tushar Deshpande and Matheesha Pathirana be participating in the 49th IPL match between CSK and PBKS in 2024?

However, CSK captain Ruturaj Gaikwad declared that the hosts had made two changes to their playing eleven. Tushar Deshpande was absent due to illness, and Sri Lankan bowler Matheesha Pathirana was unable to play due to a niggle. It is noteworthy that CSK has used strike bowlers Pathirana and Deshpande. Richard Gleeson, a rookie, and Shardul Thakur took their places.

On May 1, Chennai’s MA Chidambaram Stadium hosted Match 49 of the Indian Premier League 2024 between the Punjab Kings and Chennai Super Kings. After winning the toss, PBKS decided to field. Sam Curran declared an unchanged eleven, demonstrating his faith in his group.

“Let’s bowl first. After the previous game, we’re pleased about the new wicket and the seeming nice surface. We must get off to a strong start and take early wickets because this venue and the atmosphere are incredible. We’ll use the assurance gained from that pursuit of 261. They’re a strong team; all we need to do is fight with tenacity and courage. At the toss, Curran declared, “Same team for us.”

“We weren’t exactly sure, but we would have fielded first.” We’ll be without Pathirana and Tushar Deshpande today, but the fact that we won by 78 runs says a lot about the team.

It’s always tough defending here with a lot of dew. We’ll need to arrive early and perform well. Every game has significance. We have Shardul and Richard Gleeson makes his debut since Pathirana has a minor ache and Deshpande isn’t feeling well, according to Gaikwad.
