Lasith Malinga most wickets in ipl

Lasith Malinga’s iconic slinging action will go down as one of the most recognisable sights in world cricket. However, his unique style afforded him incredible control over his bowling, and more often than not, got him a load of wickets as well. Such was the case when his Mumbai Indians side took on CSK in 2019. Batting first, Mumbai India put on 155/4 in their 20 overs largely thanks to Rohit Sharma’s superb half-century.

In reply, Malinga formed an excellent pace attack with Jasprit Bumrah and took wickets towards the start and at the end of the innings, never allowing the CSK batsmen to build any sort of momentum. The target of 156 proved too much for the men in yellow as they folded for 109 in 17.4 overs. Malinga didn’t even need his full quota of 4 overs to take 4/37, winning the match for his side and taking his place on this list of bowlers who have the Best Bowling Figures Against CSK in IPL matches.
