Sri Lankan fast bowler Lasith Malinga initially grabbed the attention for his unorthodox bowling action. This action is hugely effective for the yorker as Malinga has achieved mastery in this special bowling skills.

As a cricket fan, we can say Malinga is the hat-trick king as he has taken the most number of international hat-tricks. He has claimed five international hat-tricks (three in ODIs and two in T20Is), including two in Cricket World Cups. Also, among these five international hat-tricks, he claimed four-wicket hauls in four successive deliveries for twice.

Though Malinga is still active in T20I cricket, he has already taken Test and ODI retirements. His last ODI was against Bangladesh at Colombo (RPS) on 26th July 2019 where he finished the game by taking the wicket of the opposition batsman Mustafizur Rahman (18).
