Matheesha Pathirana, a young pacer from Sri Lanka, credits his success and rise to fame to his time with Chennai Super Kings in the Indian Premier League (IPL). After being picked as a replacement player for an injured player in the IPL 2022 edition, Pathirana impressed the CSK management with his slingy action and eventually made his debut for the national team in both T20Is and ODIs. With 17 ODI and 14 T20I wickets to his name, Pathirana has shown incredible potential and is now a key player for Sri Lanka's cricket team.
