Matheesha Pathirana is slowly becoming MS Dhoni‘s main man in the death overs. The youngster from Sri Lanka is not disappointing the legend. Meanwhile, apart from his bowling skills for CSK, the player is also garnering some attention due to his celebration. Here, we take a look at how Twitter reacted to Matheesha Pathirana‘s ‘scary’ celebration after taking a wicket.

CSK has found a gem

CSK seem to have hit a jackpot with their discovery of Pathirana. In his U19 days, he was brilliant and many found him hard to read. However, not many were sure if he would be ready for the highest level. Even when he came to IPL last year, although there were some glimpses of excellence, he often leaked runs and looked to be under pressure.

However, this time around, in IPL 2023, Pathirana is looking more confident and his body language speaks a lot about the state that he is in. It is perfectly reflecting on the field with him being brilliant with the ball. While he has been nailing those yorkers, he is also showing that he is not just that. The pacer is doing well with his variations and his slower deliveries are also working well. With him only going to gain strength and experience with age, his skills would become even better and consistent. CSK was worried after the retirement of Dwayne Bravo on who would take up the responsibility in the death overs. They have not taken long in identifying the player to do that.
