00:00Mathesha Pathirana has been released by Chennai Super Kings ahead of IPL 2026 Mini Auction.

00:06So here are 3 teams that could start a bidding war for him.

00:09Number 3, Lucknow Super Giants.

00:11Lucknow has 22.95 crores and they definitely should recover the depleted pace attack of the team.

00:19And Pathirana has been their top overseas target.

00:22His addition to the team will also mean that he can add the bowling balance that LHG has been missing in the previous tournament.

00:29Along with that, I think he'll also compliment Shami royally royally well.

00:33Next up on number 2, we have Rajasthan Royals.

00:35Rajasthan Royals ke paas abhi has 16.08 crores and they have a clear need for a wicket-taking fast bowler to partner with Jofra Archer.

00:44So I'm very sure they'll try getting Pathirana ahead.

00:47And lastly, we have KKR.

00:49KKR has freed up a massive curse by releasing some of their key players and now are in urgent need of a specialist dead bowler.

00:56So, unka financial strength or clear requirement makes them a strong contender for securing Pathirana at the auction 2026.
