5 international players who could be bargain buys

#4 Lasith Malinga

Mumbai Indians v Chennai Super Kings - IPL T20

Lasith Malinga, the highest wicket-taker in the history of IPL has shown tremendous form upon his comeback to the Sri Lankan team. He has justified his place in the squad as he scalped a five-for against a formidable batting line-up of England in the recently concluded ODI series.

Malinga surprisingly found no bidders in the last auction. He has registered himself in the maximum base price list alongside nine other players in this year's auction. Malinga can be a batsman's nightmare when he is at his best. His lethal yorkers and leg-cutters have worked wonders for Mumbai Indians in the past.

He has more than 150 wickets to his name from just 110 matches at a brilliant economy rate of 6.87. Despite being 35, and teams adopting a relatively younger squad, Malinga might prove to be a bargain buy owing to his experience at the highest level and his effectiveness with the new ball.
