Many cricketers, especially fast bowlers, have developed distinct bowling styles that others have tried to emulate. Lasith Malinga stands out among them, with his unique technique was mirrored by Kedar Jadhav during a Legends League Cricket match between Konark and Southern Superstars.

‌Konark Suryas Odisha enjoyed a solid performance with the bat, as openers Richard Levi and Jesse Ryder forged a strong 76-run partnership, providing a fantastic start. However, the middle order faced challenges, with Kevin O'Brien and Ross Taylor unable to make significant contributions. Yusuf Pathan stepped up to anchor the innings, scoring 33 off 22 balls. A lighthearted moment occurred during his innings when Southern Superstars’ Kedar Jadhav was spotted mimicking Lasith Malinga’s distinctive bowling action.

As Konark continued to accumulate runs, Jadhav was handed the white rock and prepared to bowl to senior Pathan. The Maharashtra bred bowled just one over, but it was a memorable one. He brought his right arm close to the umpire and delivered the ball in a slingy motion, strikingly reminiscent of Malinga's style, which sparked comparisons on social media. Despite conceding seven runs in his solitary over, Jadhav's brief appearance coupled with a reminiscence of the slingy arm added a touch of excitement to an already thrilling match.

Malinga, is that you?
