Injury sidelines Dilshan Madushanka from IPL 2024

Sri Lankan cricketer Dilshan Madushanka's aspirations for the TATA Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 have been abruptly halted due to injury, leaving a gap in the tournament roster. 

However, the setback opens the door for promising talent Kwena Maphaka, whose outstanding performance at the ICC U19 Men’s Cricket World Cup has garnered attention, to make his mark in the prestigious league.

Dilshan Madushanka, known for his prowess on the cricket field, faces disappointment as injury forces him out of contention for the TATA IPL 2024. The absence of the seasoned player poses a challenge for his team and creates a ripple effect across the league.

Meanwhile, the spotlight shines on Kwena Maphaka, the left-arm pacer from South Africa, whose remarkable display at the ICC U19 Men’s Cricket World Cup earned him the coveted title of Player of the Tournament. 

Maphaka's stellar performance has not gone unnoticed, as the Mumbai Indians (MI) swiftly secured his services for his base price of INR 50 Lac, recognizing his potential to fill the void left by Madushanka's absence.
