Lasith Malinga, the legendary cricketer known for his expertise in T20 cricket, is currently coaching the next generation of bowlers at Mumbai Indians. In a recent net session, Malinga, along with young players like Arjun Tendulkar, organized a bowl-out session. The players were tasked with hitting the sole stump at the other end of the pitch. While no bowler managed to hit the stump, Malinga stepped up and delivered a precise delivery, showcasing his skill and experience.
Throughout his IPL career, Malinga played exclusively for Mumbai Indians, appearing in 122 matches and taking 170 wickets at an impressive average of 19.80 and an economy rate of 7.14. Despite not playing in the current IPL season, Malinga’s presence in the nets highlights his ability to still perform at a high level if given the opportunity.
Mumbai Indians recently secured their first win of the season against Delhi Capitals, a match that also marked their 150th win in T20 cricket, the most by any cricket team. The team’s victory was achieved through strong performances, including powerful batting displays by openers Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan, as well as Tim David and Romario Shepherd down the order. Mumbai Indians successfully defended their target of 235 runs, restricting Delhi Capitals to 205/8 in their 20 overs.
Mumbai Indians’ 150 wins exclude victories that came in Super Over following tied matches. Including matches played in the IPL and the now-defunct Champions League T20, Mumbai Indians have played 273 matches, winning 150, losing 117, with two matches ending in no result. They have won and lost two matches each in Super Over.
CSK closely follows Mumbai Indians with 148 victories in their history. Across 253 T20 matches, CSK has won 148, lost 101, with two matches ending in no result. The five-time champions have also lost two matches in Super Over after tied regular games.
