Sri Lanka Suffer Major Blow as Matheesha Pathirana Misses Asia Cup 2025 Super Four Match vs Pakistan- IPL

Despite ongoing injury concerns, the Kolkata Knight Riders committed to the Sri Lankan speedster, Matheesha Pathirana. Pathirana conceded more than 10 runs per over during his penultimate IPL season, and he played only two international matches in 2025, taking one wicket at an alarming average of 82. For ₹18 crore, availability and form remain big concerns. Though Pathirana is hailed as the next Lasith Malinga due to his bowling ability, it remains unclear whether he is a viable long-term option for the three-time IPL champions.
