Lasith Malinga Couldn’t Stop Laughing After Finding His Doppelganger At Rajkot Stadium
We all know how funky Sri Lankan bowler Lasith Malinga looks with his ever-changing hairstyles. This star bowler plays for the Mumbai Indians in the IPL and holds a record for taking the highest number of wickets, summing up 149 in 103 matches. The player sustained successfully in every season though he is often injured from past 2 years.
The 33-Year-Old player is successful with his yorkers since 2009. Things turned different this year as his form appears to be a bit slippy after leaking more than 50 runs in two successive matches. He asked for a break for the next few games and returned to action against Gujarat Lions and passed with a decent 2/33 off his fours overs.
A surprising incident took place yesterday at Rajkot’s stadium, it was during the 15th over of the innings, which was Malinga’s last, the cameras all of sudden focused on a Malinga doppelganger in the crowd. The man was wearing similar sunglasses as of the T20 legend and was also sporting the same hairstyle. He was on the big screen and Malinga could also see him and immediately started laughing.
The doppelganger was again on the big screen after Malinga delivered the third ball of the over, Malinga smiled looking at the screen while delivering the fourth ball of the over. The fans around the Malinga-lookalike were cheering him as he smiled and raised his hand in acknowledgment. The commentators too got into it, with one of them calling him a ‘twin’ of the Sri Lankan bowler.
