Summary

Lucknow Super Giants may target Matheesha Pathirana.
Pathirana was released by Chennai Super Kings.
LSG seeks to bolster its fast-bowling unit.

Matheesha Pathirana has emerged as a potential target for the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in the upcoming Indian Premier League auction. Pathirana was released by the Chennai Super Kings after four seasons, making him available for acquisition.

Former Indian cricketer Sanjay Bangar highlighted LSG's need to strengthen their fast-bowling unit, identifying Pathirana as a "fantastic" potential addition. He also questioned the consistency of bowler Digvesh Rathi after an impressive debut season, suggesting LSG might seek both overseas and Indian fast-bowling depth.

LSG recently acquired Mohammed Shami and have other pacers like Avesh Khan and Mayank Yadav. With six remaining slots, including four overseas, Pathirana's wicket-taking ability, evidenced by 55 wickets in three seasons, makes him an attractive option.
