4. Lasith Malinga
At 4, there could be only one man who picked 4 wickets in successive balls in a World Cup match and the unorthodox bowling genius from Sri Lanka Lasith Malinga. The 36-year-old made his debut over a decade ago but still, the batsmen all around the world find it extremely difficult to tackle him. A batsman works overtime while facing him as he releases the ball from a different angle.
‘Slinga Malinga’ delivers the ball from an angle where a batsman cannot see the face of the umpire. You have to be ready as Malinga can bamboozle anyone with his freaking bowling action. Malinga should be credited for the fact that even with this sort of action he has managed to play for so many years. He has picked over 500 international wickets and is the highest wicket-taker in the IPL.
