@Pinkman__007@m_solution12 Pathirana was actually injured and told to focus on rehabilitation by SL cricket board instead of playing IPL and risking his fitness more. He didn't fake any injury.
@knbalaji_hosur@CRICitism I am not sure why people are so harsh against bowlers. If he play 8 matches, he can single-handedly win 3 matches. Even in last match, he just bowled 8 balls and those had real impact on the game. And you could see how Gill was struggling against him. He is worthy to get paid.
@cricketingvieus@USH175@prasannalara Auction happened on Nov/Dec and he got injured on February. Even now, he joined the team after completing his physical test conducted by SLC to get his NOC for IPL. Don't talk rubbish.. He didn't do anything wrong here
@randomuser_92@prasannalara You are talking absolutely rubbish. Before coming to IPL, he gone through a tough physical test that tests all the match fit calibre and then only he was provided NOC by Srilanka Cricket board. And he was doing pretty good in practice sessions as well.
@internetumpire He actually bowled well. It's just that the scorecard doesn't reflect how well he bowled. It was Harry brook's master class but Matheesha took his wicket too. So, Pathirana is really coming back to his old form 🔥
