Hardik Pandya wishes Lasith Malinga on his 34th birthday, calls him 'KING OF YORKERS'!

Hardik Pandya shot to limelight after he played a breathtaking cameo in the ICC Champions Trophy finals

Lasith Malinga turns 34 on 28th August and seems to have entered the twilight of his career. Malinga was recalled to the Lankan outfit after two years because Sri Lankan cricket is in dire straits after the exit of Kumar Sangakkara and Mahela Jayawardena. It is really tough to fill such big shoes, and hence the island cricket is in a downward spiral. Sri Lanka was whitewashed in the Test series and now in the ongoing 5-match One Day Internation series, India has already taken a 3-0 unassailable lead. The two neighbouring countries have been great competitors on the field and there is a good, healthy camaraderie among the players as well.

Hardik Pandya from India is the rising star and the new pin up boy. Pandya’s rise to international cricket has been nothing short of surreal. Lasith Malinga, who turns 34 today was wished by his Mumbai Indians teammate, Hardik Pandya, who too is in Sri Lanka for the limited overs series. In the tweet that Hardik Pandya posted, he touted the Sri Lankan pacer as the ‘king of yorkers’. Malinga is feared by batsmen from all across the world for his variations and yorkers. He can literally bowl yorkers at will, a great weapon to have in your armoury.

Yes, this is what the tweet read, it also seems that Pandya calls Malinga ‘Mali’, with love.

Hardik Pandya shot into the limelight after he played a breathtaking cameo in the ICC Champions Trophy finals. He has been a part of Mumbai Indians and should thank the IPL franchise for his mercurial rise.

Cricket broadcaster Aakash Chopra also wished the great bowler on his birthday.
