Delhi: After the defeat against the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 against Punjab Kings (PBKS) on Wednesday, five -time champion Chennai Super Kings (CSK) bowling advisor Eric Seemans has supported the team's fast bowler Mathisha Pathirana, who has average average in this tournament.

Pathirana has so far taken 9 wickets in 8 matches at an average of 33.11 and her economy rate has been 10.39. Eric Simmons quoted ESPNcricinfo as saying at a post-match press conference, “I think it has already come to light that there was a slight change in his bowling action. But, now he has returned to his old action to a great extent, especially when it is about the height of his hand, he has become stable again.”

He further said, “I don't think he is performing average, rather the batsmen are playing them better now. We can see a trend how the batsmen are playing against him. Especially in the recent match against Mumbai, the technology used by the batsmen, showed it clearly that they have an idea of ​​Pathirana plans. Are, just like the bowlers should keep doing it. “

Talking about Wednesday, Punjab Kings defeated Chennai Super Kings by 4 wickets at Chepock Stadium by captain Shreyas Iyer and Prabhasimran Singh's brilliant half -century innings and Yuzvendra Chahal's hat -trick.

With this victory, Punjab Kings have now reached second place in the points table, where the team has got 6 wins, 3 defeats and 1 unnecessary match.
