Twitter reacts to Lasith Malinga's ODI retirement after masterclass against Bangladesh in his last ODI
Lasith Malinga turned back the clock in his last ODI by removing Tamim Iqbal and Souwmya Sarkar with vicious toe-crushing yorkers, and then ended the innings by dismissing Mustafizur, winning one last game for his country. The Twitterati exploded and wishes came pouring in for the veteran.
True inspiration for youngsters!!
Only Bowler to take 2 WC Hatricks, total 3 ODI hatricks, & a man who made so many aspirations and beliefs come true in young cricketers, that one can succeed & like how, even with an unconventional bowling action. One of the all time greats & a great ambassador, #ThankYouMalinga pic.twitter.com/5GAByLTqFv

The only bowler to smile even after getting hit to the boundary!
Another fast bowler calls it a day. Nothing but admiration for the mighty Lasith Malinga who is one of the greats of the white ball game. Big hearted, smiling and tough underneath the friendly air. A torch-bearer for the unorthodox.

That's Lasith Malinga for you!
If I had to pick one match winner among many others for @mipaltan in the last decade, this man will be on the top for sure. As a captain he give me breather during tense situation and he never failed to deliver, such was his presence within the team. Best wishes LM for the future pic.twitter.com/gJJJKy8gL3
