IPL 2016: Team of the month - April

9) Mitchell McClenaghan, Mumbai Indians

McClenaghan is determined to win the purple cap

The Mumbai Indians didn’t start this season well. At one stage, they had 2 wins for 6 matches. One of the reasons they have won 3 games in a row is their explosive opening bowling combination of McClenaghan and Southee. McClenaghan has been fast, hit the deck hard and an absolute nuisance so far this IPL, picking up wickets aplenty and sitting pretty on top of the purple cap chart.

Quick stats:

Matches – 9, Wickets – 13, Average – 21.15, Economy – 7.97
