In this year's IPL, Akhila Dananjaya is the only Sri Lankan to play for any franchise. With Mumbai Indians having very few Spinners in their squad, it was widely believed that he would feature in most of the matches. Mayank Markande's performances in his debut season ensured that he grabbed the position of the lead spinner for the Rohit Sharma led team.

He made his debut against Delhi Daredevils and was taken to the cleaners by Jason Roy. He returned with figures of 4-0-47-1.
