Watch: Lasith Malinga vs Arjun Tendulkar vs Others In Nets. The Winner Is...
A legend in T20 cricket, Lasith Malinga is in charge of coaching the next generation of bowlers at Mumbai Indians. In the nets for the franchise with some young players including Arjun Tendulkar, Malinga organized a bowl-out session, with the players tasked to hit the sole stump at the other end of the pitch. Arjun was among the MI pacers to try their hand at the training drill. In the video shared by Mumbai Indians, no bowler managed to hit the stump. Then Malinga took the responsibility in his own hands and delivered.
Malinga, one of the legends of the game, played only for Mumbai Indians in his entire IPL career. In 122 matches, he picked up 170 wickets at an average of 19.80 and an economy rate of 7.14. Fast forward to the current IPL season, Malinga is showing that he can still deliver with the ball if made to wear the jersey of a player.
