Most wickets in T20Is (107). Led Sri Lanka to T20I World Cup win beating India in the final in 2014. An all-time great! #Cricket 🇱🇰— Daniel Alexander (@daniel86cricket) August 28, 2021Lasith Malinga's impeccable record in cricketLasith Malinga was one of the best fast bowlers Sri Lanka ever produced. His slingy bowling action often troubled even the best in the business, and his deceptive variations were a treat to watch.Malinga is the highest wicket-taker ever in T20I cricket with 107 wickets from 84 games. Apart from him, Bangladesh's Shakib Al Hasan is the only other cricketer who has managed to pick up more than 100 international wickets in the format.The 2014 T20 World Cup winning captain is also the highest wicket-taker in the Indian Premier league (IPL). In just 122 matches in this tournament, Malinga has accounted for 170 wickets and has had a massive role to play in Mumbai's success over the years.In ODI cricket, he is the third-highest wicket-taker for Sri Lanka with 338 scalps from 226 games.
