'I'm Matheesha And Not Malinga. I Want To Be Matheesha'
Nineteen-year-old Sri Lankan right-arm pace bowler Matheesha Pathirana wants to create his own identity and not be compared with Lasith Malinga, though the youngster says that the legendary bowler was his first cricketing idol.
Pathirana made an impressive Indian Premier League (IPL) debut for Chennai Super Kings in the game against Gujarat Titans, picking up two wickets, including that of opener Shubman Gill in his very first delivery at the Wankhede Stadium on May 15. Though CSK lost the low-scoring match by seven wickets, Pathirana showed promise for upcoming IPL seasons.
