Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) has received a boost with the arrival of Sri Lankan fast bowler Matheesha Pathirana. The team, currently at the bottom of the points table, has struggled with an underperforming bowling attack. Pathirana, who was sidelined due to a calf strain, has completed his rehabilitation and secured a no-objection certificate. He will likely undergo training sessions before being included in the playing XI.
