    Happy Birthday Lasith Malinga: A look at his monumental records
  • Sri Lankan maestro Lasith Malinga, on Friday, turned 37.

    One of the greatest limited-overs bowlers, Malinga hogged the limelight for his quirky round-arm action as he burst on to international cricket.

    Over the years, his searing yorkers and deceptive slower ones have jeopardized the batsmen, especially during the death overs.

    Let us have a look at Malinga's astonishing feats.

  • In a long-standing career that has spanned over 16 years, Malinga has registered exceptional numbers.

    Having represented Sri Lanka in 226 ODIs, he has snapped up 338 wickets at an average of 28.87.

    The incredible tally includes 8 five-wicket hauls and 11 four-fors.

    Malinga also has 107 T20I and 101 Test wickets to his name at 20.79 and 33.15 respectively.

    He is the only bowler to take four wickets from as many consecutive deliveries in both ODI (vs South Africa March, 2007) and T20I cricket (vs New Zealand, 2019).

    Notably, Malinga is also the only player to take two World Cup hat-tricks (2007 and 2011).

    He is only behind West Indies all-rounder Dwayne Bravo, who recently completed 500 T20 wickets.

    Meanwhile, the former also leads the wickets column in the Indian Premier League with 170 scalps at 19.80.

    Interestingly, Bravo (147) is the next-best fast bowler on the tally.

    Still going strong, Slinga Malinga!
