haha indeed
Feeling bad as #Malinga not coming for IPL 🙁. My request to @mipaltan is to ensure his replacement #Pattinson wears Malinga’s wig when he is bowling. It will put pressure on the opposition :) #MumbaiIndians #IPL2020 @ImRo45

An experience indeed
Worked out I’ve watched Malinga bowl stumps out of the ground with Yorkers in 5 different countries!! He was always so exciting to watch. Then there’s seeing young players run up and bowl trying to mimic his unique action 🤩 End of an era! 👏🏻👏🏻 #malinga https://t.co/1ZzD1nMfrW
