#3 Mayank Markande
Before Mumbai Indians played Chennai Super Kings earlier this season, nobody had heard of him. In that game, he made his debut, picking up crucial wickets of Ambati Rayadu and MS Dhoni on his way to finishing with the incredible debut figures of 3/23. Now, everybody knows Mayank Markande.
Markande has been amongst the finds of the season. Having been bought for his base price of Rs. 20 Lakhs by Mumbai Indians after being discovered playing U23 cricket for his home state of Punjab, his debut performance has assured him a spot in the starting XI this season.
Following on from that, Markande has become a bowler Rohit Sharma has consistently relied upon.
13 wickets for the season so far with an economy under 8 has propelled the rookie onto fifth on the purple cap standings as it stands.
