Win Projections to be updated soon
More praise has been given to Matheesha Pathirana, the master of pace bowling from Sri Lanka, who was recently recognised with the prestigious Behindwoods Gold Icon Awards 2024 for the Most Popular Icon in the “sports” category.
The 21-year-old rookie bowler was the season’s biggest surprise among bowlers, even if his 2024 Indian Premier League campaign with the Chennai Super Kings was cut short by a hamstring injury that kept him out of only six games. For opposing hitters, his unusual slingy bowling movement proved to be intimidating and extremely difficult. Throughout a season filled with huge hitting efforts, record-breaking home runs, and an elevated run total in every area of the game, he kept up an outstanding economy rate of 7.68.
Pathirana started his T20 World Cup 2024 campaign with Sri Lanka exactly one month after making his last appearance in the 17th season of the IPL. In spite of the fact that he did not take as many wickets as he had hoped to, he was economical with 5.10 and gave every game his all.
One of the most prominent award shows in India, the Behindwoods Gold Icon 2024 honours achievement in a range of industries, including sports, the arts and films. The event is well known for its lavish production and star-studded attendance.

Anirudh Ravichander, a well-known Indian music composer who mostly performs as a playback singer in Tamil films, was spotted in a selfie with the pacer.
His time as a player for Nondescripts Cricket Club in the Major Clubs T20 Tournament is now over, and the team won the championship.
Sri Lanka’s next project is to tour England for a three-match Test series that is slated to take place in August to September.
