#1 Lasith Malinga

Malinga is the leading wicket-taker in IPL history and has been the face of Mumbai Indians since the inception of the IPL. His devastating yorkers have given nightmares to the opposition, but, unfortunately, Malinga's accuracy has decreased with age.
He has become far too predictable and with the number of options available, Mumbai Indians might look for other fast bowlers. It might get worse for the Sri Lankan seamer as he might not get an IPL contract at all, with teams likely to choose players on the basis of their current form. Arguably the best bowler in IPL history, Malinga's future hangs in the balance.
