On this day in 2019: Malinga’s magical last over to win the IPL final

May 13, 2021 at 12:04 AM

On this day in 2019, Slinga Malinga did the improbable to help Mumbai Indians win their 4th IPL title.

CSK had to score only 9 runs off the final over to win the IPL. With five wickets in hand and Shane Watson at the crease batting on 76 along with Ravindra Jadeja, it seemed like it’s going to be a walk in the park for the men in yellow.

MI skipper Rohit Sharma handed over the ball to old horse Lasith Malinga to get the job done, despite going for 42 off his previous 3 overs. Rest is history.
