Top 5 performers in the history of the Indian Premier League

#5 Lasith Malinga - The Highest Wicket-Taker in the 11 editions of IPL

Lasith Malinga is the leading wicket-taker in the IPL history

Mumbai Indians has emerged out as the second-best team in the history of IPL. Mumbai has so far played 4 finals in the total 11 seasons of IPL. The Sri Lankan pacer Malinga had a key role to play in the franchise’s uplift. The round-arm bowling action has been the key reason for Malinga’s success as it makes difficult for batsmen to understand the ball.

With his in-swinging yorkers, Malinga had grabbed 154 wickets from his 110 wickets, a list which comprises some of the greatest T20 batsmen on the planet. Malinga has just conceded 2928 runs averaging at 19.01 runs per match in his stint with Mumbai Indians. He was also one of the few players who played for only one franchise in their long IPL career.
