Maheesh Theekshana is a 21-year-old right-arm off-break bowler who is likely to dominate this year with his bowling performance. Theekshana’s international career contains one ODI and ten T20I games. He played seven of these ten games during the T20 World Cup 2021 where he picked eight wickets at an average of 17.12, an economy of 5.48, and a strike rate of 18.7.

In the LPL 2021, Theekshana took 16 wickets in ten matches at an average of 16.75, an economy of 6.87, and a strike rate of 14.6 for Jaffna Kings. The Kings won the tournament after defeating Galle Gladiators in the final by 23 runs.

Wanindu Hasaranga dominated 2021 with his bowling efforts and finished the year as the number one bowler in ICC Rankings in T20Is. Theekshana is likely to follow the path of Hasaranga and might dominate the opponents this year.
