This year cricket fans are going to miss few important players from IPL 2020, beginning from Suresh Raina, Harbhajan Singh to ‘incomparable’ Lasith Malinga. They all pulled out from IPL 13 season due to personal reasons. 

Recently, Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma named three fast bowlers who he thinks can replace Sri Lankan legend’s in IPL 2020.  

During a pre-season online press conference, Rohit said “I don’t think it is easy to come and fill his boots. He has been a match-winner for Mumbai. I have said it many times, whenever we sort of find ourselves in trouble, Malinga was the one to bail us out from that."

“His experience will be missed, what he did with MI is unbelievable and it is unfortunate that he is not a part of the team this year,” Rohit added.

Malinga, who is IPL’s highest wicket-taker pulled out citing personal reasons was a major blow to the team. Further during the conversation, Rohit, however mentioned three names that they are looking at to replace Malinga. 

"We have got likes – (James) Pattinson, Dhawal Kulkarni, Mohsin (Khan) and these are the names that we are looking to replace Malinga with. But obviously what Malinga did for Mumbai, it is not just comparable,” he added.

As per records, Australia’s right-arm seamer James Pattinson has become the official replacement for Malinga in the Mumbai Indians’ team.
