Lasith Malinga will miss IPL 2020 for personal reasons, and Mumbai Indians have confirmed that the Sri Lankan pacer will be replaced by James Pattinson. Malinga's absence is a body blow for Mumbai, who have been heavily reliant on the Lankan for over a decade, and the Twitterati reacted on the same.

Another IPL legend pulls out of the league

JUST IN: Lasith Malinga has withdrawn from this year's IPL for personal reasons.

Malinga has the most wickets in IPL history

The highest wicket-taker in the IPL history—Lasith Malinga has been ruled out of the tournament due to personal reasons.

His replacement is James Pattinson who picked 9 wickets in 6 BBL games in 2019-20 which included 5/33 for Brisbane Heat v Adelaide Strikers at The Gabba.

What a moment that was

So this will go down as the last delivery bowled by Malinga in his IPL career.

Unforgettable

Malinga opts out of the IPL. There is a good chance we might have seen the last of him in the league. If that is the case, then his last ball is a pinpoint yorker winning the title for Mumbai by 1 run.

That's one good signing by MI

Mumbai Indians signs Australian fast bowler James Pattinson in place of Lasith Malinga. He is one the biggest loss for MI but Pattinson can be a good option with his pace and bounce and can also contribute with the bat.

Huge loss for fans

IPL will be without Lasith Malinga & Suresh Raina - Two of the greatest match-winners of their respective sides.

James Pattinson will be donning the MI jersey now

I think it is a very good call from to get James Pattinson with Malinga unavailable. Can be a very good change.
— Debojit Nath(Dev) 🕊 (@Deb22dn)

MI will be incomplete without Malinga

will certainly feel a little different without the legendary Malinga on show. Thoughts and prayers with Lasith and his family during this time.

James Pattinson to replace the SL & MI legend. 👇
