28-year old left-arm Australian pacer Jason Behrendorff is widely considered as a T20 specialist bowler given his magnificent performances in tournaments like The Big Bash League. He has the ability to launch the ball with impressive pace, and can put batsmen in hot water with his high-arm action and different variations.

Behrendorff was recently included in Australia's ODI squad against India, and he led the pace attack by taking 3 wickets in 2 games. He bowled a remarkable spell of 10-2-39-2 in his ODI debut at the iconic SCG.

Last year, Behrendorff was hired by the Mumbai Indians but unfortunately he could not play a single game as he suffered a back injury owing to which he was ruled out from the tournament. Given the valuable asset that he can be, the Mumbai Indians decided to retain him to strengthen their bowling department.
