IPL: Best retired XI in the history of the league
These legends have now walked into the sunset, but their deeds will be remembered with a great sense of fondness.
10. Lasith Malinga
Lasith Malinga occupies a pedestal of his own, a pedestal that no bowler can reach in IPL cricket. The Sri Lankan bowling legend has a monstrous tally of 170 wickets against his name and is the highest wicket-taker in the IPL. He also picked up 6 four-wicket hauls with the white ball in hand in the Indian T20 league.
Malinga played the IPL for more than a decade. And, he played for just one franchise, the Mumbai Indians. He was a part of the victorious Mumbai side on 4 occasions. Malinga could bowl the yorker with pinpoint perfection, and when he was at his best, the batsmen experienced troubled times.
The Mumbai pacer played his last IPL match in the year 2019. Of the last ball he bowled in his IPL career, Malinga dismissed Shardul Thakur in the 2019 IPL final to help his side to beat the Chennai side by a solitary run and win the title.
