When will Matheesha Pathirana join KKR squad for IPL 2026?

Ahmedabad : Matheesha Pathirana has been sidelined with a calf injury sustained during the T20 World Cup 2026 and his absence is proving costly for the Kolkata Knight Riders in the ongoing Indian Premier League 2026. Without a reliable strike bowler, KKR have struggled to make breakthroughs, especially at crucial phases of the innings.
