Lasith Malinga is a household name in the Indian Premier League, courtesy his toe-crushing yorkers that have sealed matches over the years. On the other hand, the Chennai Super Kings skipper, MS Dhoni, is regarded as the best finisher in any format of the game.

In the IPL, the pair locked horns on numerous occasions, and overall, Dhoni managed to hit 93 runs against Malinga at a strike rate of over 140.

However, Malinga managed to contain Dhoni with 23 dot balls till date and even dismissed him thrice in the history of the tournament. With 'Slinga' being unsold in 2018 and with him contemplating retirement, the Malinga vs Dhoni battle is something we shall never see again.
