6 exciting overseas IPL first timers

Jason Behrendorff (Mumbai Indians)

Player Role: Left-arm fast medium bowler

Barring his devastating 4 wicket haul against India in Guwahati, this Western Australian is an unknown commodity to Indian fans, who have not seen much of him. That is because he is extremely injury prone and misses more games than he plays. However, that one searing spell in Guwahati has left an impact on the minds on Indian cricket fans, who will be raring to see this Western Australian in action. Though he has missed the last two Big Bash seasons owing to injury, he does have a stellar record in the league playing for the Perth Scorchers: 45 wickets in 32 matches at an economy of 6.95. If he is able to replicate his success in the IPL, the Mumbai Indians fans are in for a treat.
