5 modern bowlers with the most lethal yorkers

#1 Lasith Malinga - Sri Lanka

This is a no-brainer. Lasith Malinga has been one of the most successful death bowlers in ODI history who can easily author a book by the name "A Death Bowling Manual for beginners".

He has been one of the pillars of Sri Lankan fast bowling, and has been their leader for the last few years.

Malinga has a side arm action which makes it even more difficult for the batsmen to gauge the angle of the ball. His stock delivery is the in-swinger, but he can move the ball both ways.

Malinga has one of the most lethal yorkers in the game. He has a wide variety of yorkers, which includes a wide yorker, a slower yorker and an in-swinging yorker.

He has 3 hat-tricks in ODIs, and no one can forget his spell against South Africa in the 2007 World Cup where he picked up 4 wickets in 4 deliveries. He also delivered a masterclass against India, when he bowled to a well-set Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni in the 2014 World T20 Final, giving away just 11 tuns from his final 2 overs.

In the last 24 months, Malinga's numbers have declined owing to age and injuries. He still has a decent record though, as he has bowled 197 balls in the death overs, picking 14 wickets at an economy of 7.12.
