#4 Lasith Malinga (Mumbai Indians)

Lasith Malinga - the Sri Lankan bowling legend - has been one of the best pacemen in the entire history of IPL. Malinga's IPL numbers justify his excellent run in IPL. Having played 122 IPL games and having grabbed 170 wickets at an average of 19.82, Malinga is the highest wicket-taker of IPL.

Malinga's journey as a player seemed to have ended as the paceman decided to join Mumbai Indians (MI) as the bowling mentor in IPL 2018. Nevertheless, Malinga returned to the field as Mumbai Indians bought him at the 2019 IPL Auction. The investment turned out to be fruitful for MI as Malinga's experience came handy in the high-pressure finals of IPL 2019 while helping them to win their record fourth IPL title.

With plenty of fast bowling options at MI's disposal, and the Sri Lankan stalwart Lasith Malinga's struggles with fitness, IPL 2020 might as well come to be the last one for the legendary bowler, known for his toe-crushers.
