Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) bowling coach Tim Southee has hinted that Matheesha Pathirana, a Sri Lankan pacer, could make his debut against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) on May 3. After recovering from an injury, Pathirana has shown impressive form in training and has integrated well with the team. KKR, having secured back-to-back victories against Rajasthan Royals and Lucknow Super Giants, is looking to build on this momentum. However, the final decision on Pathirana's inclusion will depend on the team's composition and the match conditions. Southee acknowledged the importance of balancing the side, particularly with KKR's recent success attributed to their pace bowlers and the batting contributions from players like Rinku Singh. Pathirana's past performance against SRH's Heinrich Klaasen, where he took three wickets for just 23 runs in three IPL matches, adds to his appeal as a potential game-changer for KKR.
