IPL 2019: One veteran who can be the impact player for each team

#3 Mumbai Indians - Lasith Malinga

Lasith Malinga

Lasith Malinga had an interesting turn of events for the last one year or so. After being away from the game for some time due to form and fitness, he returned to captain the Sri Lankan team and has been in fantastic bowling form for the Lankans.

A similar thing happened in his IPL career too where he was not picked in the 2018 IPL auctions and was appointed as the bowling mentor by the Mumbai Franchise last year. But this year, he put his name in the auctions and the same Mumbai Indians sprung a surprise by picking him at his base price.

This shows the team's confidence in the veteran who has been part of the team since 2009. Malinga is an IPL legend and is the leading wicket-taker in the IPL's history till date. He will want to add to his tally of 154 wickets after missing out last season.
