IPL 2019: 6 reasons why the Mumbai Indians squad looks formidable

#2 Death bowling specialists

Mumbai Indians have got two best death bowlers

Mumbai Indians probably has one of the best, if not the best death bowling duo in the world. Lasith Malinga is an IPL legend and has been associated with the franchise since the beginning. He has taken 154 wickets in 110 IPL matches which is the highest of all. He has been the leading wicket-taker of the league. His death bowling prowess is matched by none and he has won matches for the franchise on an innumerable number of occasions.

Under his guidance quietly a young kid blossomed with an unorthodox action a few years ago. Jasprit Bumrah has grown leaps and bounds over the past few years and he is the number one bowler in the world now. He has taken 63 wickets in 61 matches so far in IPL. He has been the go-to bowler for the captain irrespective of the format and team he plays for.

Though Malinga is not at his peak as he used to, one can never write him off. Together Malinga and Bumrah are going to be a very big challenge for the opponents, especially in the last four overs.
