#4 Most wickets in the tournament's history - Lasith Malinga
Lasith Malinga has always been a crowd favorite and an icon for the team. He revolutionized the IPL with his slingy action, deadly yorkers and ever-consistent, wicket-taking style of bowling.
Malinga has taken 154 wickets in the history of IPL, with four four-wicket hauls and one five-wicket haul. He has won many matches single-handedly for the Mumbai Indians over the years. Malinga's performances in playoff matches for the Mumbai Indians are astounding, underlining his prowess as a big-match player.
The Sri Lankan gave another surprise to the cricketing fraternity at this year's player auction as he entered his name for a base price of INR 2 Crore. Mumbai bought back their talisman at his base price, and the cricketing world will want to see what he'll do this season as a player.
#3 Lowest Match Aggregate - 135
(Match aggregate = total runs scored in a non-rain interrupted match)
In the same match where Sachin Tendulkar set his record for most catches in an innings, another record was set by the Mumbai Indians. Their match against KKR recorded the lowest match aggregate ever, as only 135 runs were scored in the entire match.
The Mumbai bowlers trampled the KKR batsmen, bowling them out for just 67 runs, and subsequently chased down the target for the loss of just two wickets.
Only 20.5 overs were bowled out of the 40 overs in the match despite no rain interruption taking place. A subsequent match between KXIP and DD managed to equal this record, but after 9 long years.
