Pathirana Set for IPL Comeback, But KKR Will Have to Wait
The Lankan pacer is on track for an April 6 return, missing two crucial matches.
Matheesha Pathirana is revving up for his IPL return with the Kolkata Knight Riders, but there's a bit of a snag. After his rehab at the National Cricket Academy in Sri Lanka, he’s expected to join the squad by April 6. KKR fans will have to hold their horses for a couple of matches as he completes his fitness process.
Having been snapped up for a whopping INR 18 crore, expectations are sky-high for the young pacer. However, fresh guidelines from Sri Lanka Cricket add a layer of uncertainty. Can Pathirana hit the ground running once he dons the KKR jersey?
The Knight Riders will definitely miss his firepower in the opening matches, but when he’s fit, he could be the game-changer they need. Keep your eyes peeled, KKR fans, because this Lankan speedster is coming for the crown!
