Lasith Malinga

Lasith Malinga, the Sri Lankan great, has been one of the most feared bowlers in the world. He was associated with the Mumbai Indians franchise for the past 10 years and was consistent in the IPL for them.

Malinga sits on the top of the all-time leading wicket-takers in the IPL with 154 wickets, 20 wickets more than the second best Amit Mishra. He went unsold in the auction and it didn't come as a surprise as his performances have declined over the past few years.

Malinga is currently playing for Nondescripts Cricket Club in domestic cricket in Sri Lanka and has been quite effective with the bowl in T20 matches there. With the return of form, Malinga can be an ideal injury replacement option for the teams who are looking for an experienced bowler.
