By Saurabh Sharma July 27, 2019 • 12:43 PM View: 1476

Colombo, July 27: "You have to be a match-winner" is the golden rule to survive in veteran pacer Lasith Malinga's golden words for the youngsters after playing his final ODI for Sri Lanka in front of his home crowd.

On Friday, Malinga brought an end to his illustrious ODI career with a wicket off the last ball he bowled in the first ODI of the three-match series against Bangladesh -- which Sri Lanka won by 91 runs. He took 3/38 and went past Anil Kumble's tally of wickets in the 50-over format.
