IPL 2016: Top 7 performers of the month

Mitchell McClenaghan

Mitchell McClenaghan has been the pick of the bowlers in the IPL so far

The Mumbai Indians found themselves in deep trouble whenLasith Malinga was ruled out of this edition of the IPL due to injury. But much to their relief, Mitchell McClenaghan and Jasprit Bumrah have stepped in and made sure that his absence is not felt by the Mumbai Indians.

McClenaghan is currently the purple cap holder having picked up 13 wickets in 9 matches at an economy of 7.97. He has been bowling with pace and purpose up front as batsmen have found it particularly difficult to score off him.

He has also executed the yorkers perfectly at the death which has made him Rohit Sharma's go to bowler at the moment. Meagre when it comes to conceding runs and picking up wickets, McClenaghan has been leading the MI pace attack superbly this season.
