Dananjaya's bowling abilities during the power-play overs will provide strength to MI

Akila Dananjaya was bought by Mumbai Indians for INR 50 lakhs. The Sri Lankan is known for deceiving the batsmen with his flight. His bowling during the powerplay overs of the ongoing Nidahas Trophy has been a treat for everyone's eyes.

Dananjaya has played 19 ODIs and bagged 21 wickets with an impressive economy of 4.98. In his test debut itself against Bangladesh, Dananjaya bagged 8 wickets and was adjudged as the man of the match.

If Dananajaya makes the cut into the XI, he may be a threat to all the batsmen looking onto the different variations he persists. His bowling abilities during the power-play overs will be a plus point for the Mumbai Indians which they would take into consideration.
