The Kolkata Knight Riders could not make the best start to this edition of the IPL, as they have managed to win only two of their eight matches this season. After eight matches in this year's contest, they are in eighth position, having secured five points.
With some of the players slowly gaining form in the KKR camp, the three-time champions have some other major good news as well. Matheesha Pathirana has finally joined the KKR camp and is all set to make a move.
Southee announced that he has returned for the Knight Riders and has been training alongside the group. “Yes, he’s arrived. He’s been around the group for a little bit now,” Southee said.
What reform can Matheesha Pathirana bring to the KKR bowling deck?
The update seemed natural as Pathirana was not immediately available for selections. However, KKR did not lose hope and was constantly in touch with the Sri Lankan Cricket Association, keeping track of the recovery of the 23-year-old.
With Kartik Tyagi operating well in the middle overs and Vaibhav Arora good with the new ball, KKR's campaign can be better if they pick a good bowler in the death overs, which was a concern noted over many games.
Pathirana to be subjected to massive test against the in-form SRH batting unit
The SRH have a very dominant batting order comprising inform batters like Abhishek Sharma, Heinrich Klaasen, and Ishan Kishan, and now Travis Head has also shown glimpses of good form. They have played the highest brand of aggressive cricket this season.
