In spite of their inconsistent batting, Mumbai Indians are still at the top of the 2017 IPL table thanks to their bowling unit that has risen to the occasion. After losing their first match of the season, Rohit Sharma’s men bounced back and went on to win their next six games.

Their bowlers did a fantastic job whenever their team needed them and kept the opposition batsmen at bay. Though MI have only one bowler with at least eight wickets, as a bowling unit, they stand above the rest.

Mitchell McClenaghan, in spite of conceding a lot of runs, has been MI’s best bowler this season followed by Jasprit Bumrah, who is doing a brilliant job for his team in the death overs. Harbhajan Singh has just three wickets to his name in the first six matches, but his economy of 6.04 tells the story of the turbanator’s season. He makes sure that he is controlling the flow of runs whenever he comes on to bowl and makes it easier for the other bowlers to take wickets.

The Pandya brothers’ contributions have made a difference for the outfit from Mumbai and the team management will hope that their star bowler, Lasith Malinga rediscovers his form at the earliest. Malinga coming back to form will make life miserable for the opposition batsmen.
