“Junior Malinga”: CSK pacer Matisha Pathirana in high demand, predicts former cricketer Deep Das Gupta


Deep Das Gupta says Chennai Super Kings (CSK) pacer Matisha Pathirana will be in high demand if his name makes it to the Indian Premier League (IPL) auction in the future. Popularly known as Junior Malinga, the star has been performing very well this season. In any case, the star wanted to show the world that he will make a positive impact in Sri Lankan cricket in the future with the strength of his performances these days.

The former cricketer opined that the Sri Lankan fast bowler who has performed well with the Chennai team in the ongoing IPL 2023 can pocket at least Rs 11 crore. The former player also predicts that many teams will come forward for this young player.

Speaking to ESPNcriinfo, the commentator commented:

“At least 10-11 crores, no doubt he will get. We have seen some other bowlers earn this much crores, so surely he can too. He is the best. He’s only 20 years old, so there’s a lot of opportunities ahead.”

In the same discussion, former West Indies cricketer Ian Bishop emphasized the importance of managing Pathirana’s workload. He suggested:

“There are many opportunities ahead for him. He should make sure to make the most of it and play. Try not to play all the formats together and pick and choose what you need.” Legend has it.

It should be noted that no one bought Pathirana in the auction. He later joined CSK as a replacement for Adam Milne. He has been outstanding for his team this season, taking 13 wickets in eight matches at an economy rate of 7.81.
