Mystery spinner Maheesh Theekshana has emerged as a key weapon for Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2025. Known for his deceptive carrom ball and tight lines in the middle overs, the Sri Lankan spinner was signed for INR 4.4 crore during the IPL 2025 Mega Auction to strengthen RR’s spin attack. While his economy rate has slightly risen this season, his ability to break partnerships and control the game flow remains valuable.
Against Delhi Capitals, Theekshana has put up a solid show in his short IPL stint so far. In 3 matches, he has taken 4 wickets, with best bowling figures of 2/23, maintaining an impressive average of 22.67 and economy of 6.80. His best spell came in IPL 2023, where he dismissed both Lalit Yadav and Kuldeep Yadav, keeping the middle overs quiet and building pressure.
