Matheesha Pathirana: IPL 2026 mein KKR ke liye badqismat aaghaz
IPL 2026: Matheesha Pathirana ka KKR ke liye na-qabil-e-yaqeen debut
Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) ke liye IPL 2026 ka safar musalsal utaar churao ka shikaar raha hai, aur ab team ko ek aur bara jhatka laga hai. 16 May ko Gujarat Titans (GT) ke khilaaf khele gaye ahem match mein, KKR ke mehnge tareen khiladiyon mein shamil Matheesha Pathirana maidan mein utre, magar unka debut mehez 8 gendon par khatam ho gaya.
Injury ka silsila aur badqismati
Pathirana ko mini auction mein 18 crore rupay ki bhari raqam ke ewaz kharida gaya tha. Taaham, 2026 T20 World Cup ke dauran hone wali pindli (calf) ki chot ki wajah se woh season ke ibtidayi 11 matches se bahar rahe. Eden Gardens mein hone wale is match mein fans ko unse bari umeedain thin, lekin fitness ke masail ne unhe ek baar phir dressing room ka rasta dikha diya. Woh sirf 8 gendain phenk paye aur dard ki shiddat ki wajah se maidan se bahar chale gaye.
KKR ki batting ka shandaar muzahira
Pathirana ki injury se hat kar, agar match ke pehle hisse par nazar dali jaye to KKR ke batters ne Gujarat Titans ke bowlers ki khoob khabar li. Finn Allen ne 35 gendon par 93 runs ki toofan-khez innings kheli. Allen ko do baar life-line mili jab Mohammed Siraj aur GT ke fielders unka catch pakadne mein nakaam rahe. Allen ne apni innings mein 10 chhakke aur 4 chauke lagaye.
Angkrish Raghuvanshi aur Cameron Green ki dhamaka khez partnership
Allen ke out hone ke baad, Angkrish Raghuvanshi (82 not out) aur Cameron Green (52 not out) ne GT ke bowlers ko kisi bhi kism ka mauqa nahi diya. Dono ne teesri wicket ke liye sirf 53 gendon par 108 runs jore. Gujarat Titans ki fielding is match mein intehayi mayoos kun rahi, kyunki unhone kul char catches giraye, jiska khamiyaza unhe 247 runs ka target hasil karke bhugatna para.
Shubman Gill ki qayadat par sawaliye nishan
Gujarat Titans ke kaptaan Shubman Gill ne toss jeet kar pehle bowling ka faisla kiya, jo ulta unhi ke gale par gaya. Bowlers ke kharab performance aur fielders ki susti ne match GT ke hath se nikal diya. KKR ne sirf 9 overs mein 100 aur 17 overs mein 200 runs ka hinsa عبور (aboor) kar liya tha.
Playoffs ki daud aur KKR ka mustaqbil
KKR ke liye ye match playoffs ki umeedon ko zinda rakhne ke liye intehayi zaroori tha. Team ko playoff stage mein jagah banane ke liye lagatar teen matches jeetne ki zaroorat hai. Pathirana ka bahar hona team management ke liye ek bara challenge hai, kyunki unki line aur length death overs mein KKR ke liye bohot karguar sabit ho sakti thi. Ab ye dekhna dilchasp hoga ki KKR apni bowling unit ko kis tarah adjust karti hai.
Nateeja
Cricket mein injury ka silsila hamesha se khiladiyon ka dushman raha hai. Matheesha Pathirana ka sirf 8 gendon par field se bahar jana na sirf unke liye balkay KKR ke fans ke liye bhi ek sadma hai. Umeed hai ki unki chot zyada sangeen na ho aur woh jald hi maidan mein wapsi karein ge.
