According to a report by Times Now, their strike bowler and the current purple cap holder of the tournament, Mustafizur Rehman, will be unavailable for their next IPL game.
CSK just suffered their first loss in the IPL 2024. They were defeated at the Vizag stadium by the Delhi Capitals. And as if that was not enough, they have suffered another blow heading into the game against SRH.
Mustafizur to miss next CSK game due to visa issue
It has been revealed that the player has flown back to Bangladesh because he has to complete some formalities for his visa to enter the United States, where Bangladesh will be later partaking in the T20 World Cup 2024.
Bdcrictime, a Bangladesh news website, has claimed that the player has arrived to complete the biometric test. His passport is currently with the authorities, and the process can take a bit of time. As a result, Mustafizur is likely to be staying back in Bangladesh for a few days and might miss more than one game for CSK.
Although Chennai Super Kings have a great pool of talent, they might still miss the services of the left-arm pacer, for he has been in such form.
Mustafizur announced his arrival in yellow in his debut game against RCB. He clinched four wickets in that game to help his team dominate the Bengaluru team. Since then, he has been their go-to bowler to pick up crucial wickets.
However, he looked lacklustre, just like the other bowlers in the game against DC. The defending champions suffered their first defeat of the season due to the CSK bowlers’ inability to dent DC’s middle order.
Now, they will be looking to bounce back in the next game, which is again an away game against Sunrisers Hyderabad. Given the last result on the ground, it will be a riveting encounter to witness.
SRH posted a massive record-breaking total of 277 in the previous game on the ground. And Mumbai was almost able to chase it down. So, it is a ground that tilts in the favour of batters. Hence, Mustafirzur, with his variations, might be a massive miss for Chennai Super Kings.
