Bengaluru, September 2: India and Sri Lanka might have locked in an on-field rivalry but that did not prevent the cricketers from sharing a few moments of warmth.

Sri Lankan pacer Lasith Malinga, who captured his 300th ODI wicket in the fourth one-dayer against India, hosted Indian cricketers ahead of the fifth and final ODI at Colombo.

Shikhar Dhawan posted a picture of him standing with Sri Lankan players Angelo Mathews and Dinesh Chandimal, while Ajinkya Rahane took a selfie with Malinga. India are leading the five-match series 4-0 and will be eager to seal the series 5-0.

Malinga is no stranger to Indian team members as he has been a member of the Mumbai Indians from the first season of the Indian Premier League.

The Mumbai outfit has been a hub for several of the present Indian team members like Rohit Sharma and Malinga has kept a close association with many of them.
