The Chennai Super Kings had one of their worst seasons in the history of the IPL, as they finished last on the IPL 2025 points table. The CSK management would have hence cited releasing most of their former players and bringing in some new faces in the mini-auction to improve their chances.
Pathirana parted ways with his former franchise and was released into the players' pool for the mini-auction, which has been scheduled for the 16th of December. According to the latest reports suggested by Rohit Juglan, the Punjab Kings have emerged as the frontrunner side for the mega-auction.
As the Punjab Kings required a death overs specialist seamer, Pathirana would be a right fit; however, a trade between Marcus Stoinis and Matheesha Pathirana was offered, while Juglan mentions he is unaware as to which party initiated the offer.
KKR might also be in the quest for an overseas pacer
They released many of the big-budget players, like Anrich Nortje, Venkatesh Iyer, Quinton de Kock and Andre Russell, to boost their purses ahead of the mini-auction. Hence, KKR not only needs someone like Pathirana, but they can also afford him over the Punjab Kings.
Matheesha Pathirana's IPL Stats
Having made his IPL debut in 2022, he has played four seasons for the Chennai Super Kings. Matheesha Pathirana was CSK's go-to man for a wicket in the death in the 2024 and 2025 seasons.
Hailing from the land of Lasith Malinga, the pacer has picked 47 wickets in 32 IPL matches and averages a good 21.62 in his career. With a slightly higher economy, he has raw pace and when in form, his accuracy makes him unplayable.
