Lasith Malinga

Lasith Malinga, born on August 28, 1983, in Galle, Sri Lanka, is a former Sri Lankan cricketer known for his unique round-arm bowling action and trademark blonde-highlighted curly hair. He is the only bowler to take four wickets in four consecutive balls in international cricket (twice — once in ODIs and once in T20Is). Malinga played 30 Tests, 226 ODIs, and 84 T20Is for Sri Lanka, taking over 500 international wickets. He was the first bowler to reach 100 wickets in T20I cricket and holds the record for the most wickets in T20I history. Malinga captained Sri Lanka to victory in the 2014 T20 World Cup. He also played in the Indian Premier League (IPL) for Mumbai Indians, where he became one of the most successful bowlers. Known for his death bowling skills, Malinga's yorkers were feared by batsmen worldwide.
