The opening match of the Sri Lankan Premier League (LPL) saw Kandy Tuskers take on Colombo Kings in the run feast at the Mahinda Rajapaksa International Stadium in Hambantota. 

Kandy Tuskers enthralled the fans with their 219 runs, however, Indian fans were left disappointed as Irfan Pathan did not get to bat. 

He did, however, come into bowl as the left-arm medium-pacer was given the new ball by captain Kusal Perera. While he did not show any signs of discomfort and had almost sent Dinesh Chandimal packing with a slower delivery, the Baroda-born cricketer visibly struggled in his second over. After bowling five balls, Pathan reportedly pulled his hamstring and had to walk back off the field. 

He did not return and this could be a huge concern for the Kandy Tuskers side. Currently, there has been no official statement from the player or the team regarding the seriousness of the injury. 

Irfan Pathan at LPL:

The former India player is one of the highest-paid cricketers in the league as he will earn a handsome paycheck of USD 60,000 (approx ₹44 lakh) for representing the Kandy Tuskers. 

Kandy Tuskers squad:

Kusal Perera (captain), Kusal Mendis, Nuwan Pradeep, Kevin Kottigoda, Vishwa Fernando, Seekkuge Prasanna, Asela Guneratne, Naveen-ul-Haq, Kamindu Mendis, Dilruwan Perera, Priyamal Perera, Kamindu Mendis, Kavisha Anjula, Lasith Embuldeniya, Lahiru Samarakoon, Nishan Madushka, Chamika Edirisinghe, Ishan Jayaratne, Irfan Pathan, Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Sohail Tanveer, Munaf Patel, Dale Steyn, Brendan Taylor.
