3 reasons why Maheesh Theekshana can be a game-changer for RR in IPL 2025

Sri Lanka’s star bowler Maheesh Theekshana will play for the Rajasthan Royals (RR) in the upcoming season of the Indian Premier League (IPL). The player who was a part of the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the previous season will be a part of the Royals this year. It will be a massive shift for the players from south to north, but the competition will remain the same. Theekshana is a classic spinner who has proved his worth in the tournament while playing for CSK. RR grabbed him for Rs. 4.40 crores, which was a steal deal. There is a high chance that he will become a game-changer for RR. 

Here are the reasons why Maheesh Theekshana can be a game-changer for RR:

Economical Bowling in T20 Format

Maheesh Theekshana has been an economical bowler in the shortest format of the game. He has taken wickets as well while maintaining the economy in the middle overs, which is a plus point for the team. Plus, in spin conditions, he will be extremely helpful to the Royals. 

Mystery Spin option

Rajasthan Royals don’t have many spin options, and having Theekshana around will definitely be in their favor. He is known as a mystery spinner who deceives the batters really well. He can also swing the bat in times of need, which is another advantage for the Royals. 

Replacement for Yuzvendra Chahal

RR let go of Yuzvendra Chahal, who was their prime spinner for many seasons. Now, Theekshana will be his replacement for the upcoming season. The off-break bowler is young but has experience of bowling in the T20 format. Hence, he might turn out to be an asset to the team.
