The deadliest death bowler in the history of the game has already hung his boots in the Test, and the One Day International (ODI) format and 2020 can be the year he finally decides to retire from the T20s as well. Lasith Malinga has played 79 T20 internationals, where he has taken 106 wickets, which is the most by any bowler. He has already won the T20 World Cup for Sri Lanka while captaining them in the year 2014, and will once again be leading them in the upcoming T20WC.

Sri Lanka cricket is going through a phase of rebuilding with legends of the game like Mahela Jayawardene, and Kumara Sangakara retiring, but Malinga's performance has been nothing short of excellent. He recently even took a double hat-trick in the T20 game against New Zealand. Fans all over the world, and Malinga himself will be hoping that he can end his career on a high.
