5 cricketers who could be playing their last IPL this year

#3 Lasith Malinga- Mumbai Indians

Slinga Malinga may hang his boots.

Lasith Malinga had an interesting turn of events for the last one year or so. After being away from the game for some time due to form and fitness, he returned to captain the Sri Lankan team and has been doing what he does best, taking wickets.

A similar thing has happened in his IPL career too as he was not picked in the 2018 IPL auctions and was appointed as the bowling mentor by the Mumbai franchise last year. But this year, he put his name in the auctions and the same Mumbai Indians sprung a surprise by picking him at the 2019 auctions at his base price.

This shows the team's confidence in the veteran who has been part of the team since 2009. Malinga is an IPL legend and is the leading wicket-taker in the IPL's history till date.

Malinga is already 35 and may be playing his final IPL of his storied career.
