#5 Ashish Nehra

Just like many players on this list, Ashish Nehra started his IPL career with the Mumbai Indians. The retired fast bowler was already a renowned bowler when he joined MI. In fact, it could be argued that he was brought in to breathe a little bit of fire into MI’s bowling lineup. He performed decently with the ball picking up 11 wickets in 14 games.

However, his form picked up when he moved on to play for other teams. In fact, he had his best year in the IPL in 2015 when he picked up 22 wickets in 16 games for the Chennai Super Kings. He just missed out on winning the purple cap by a whisker. He is also the 10th highest wicket-taker in the tournament’s history with 105 wickets from 88 games at an average of 23.42.

Currently, Nehra is enjoying his new role as the bowling coach of Royal Challengers Bangalore.

According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker. He would’ve also made that as Taker’s final match.
