8. Lasith Malinga:
Umm, I guess no one got an objection with this name in the list. Malinga has always been the king of bowling in Indian Premier League and a most-suited tournament for him. Either the injuries or a poor fitness saw him staying away from IPL in past seasons but this time, he is back and raring to go.
The flamboyant cricketer is doing wonders for Sri Lanka at international level by rattling the defence of the opposition. He announced himself in his return to International cricket in Asia Cup 2018 and then continued the same form.
Lasith Malinga would be excited to return to the tournament after missing out a couple of seasons. His combination with Jasprit Bumrah is going to be massive competition for the batsmen of the other franchises. Imagine both of them fighting in between themselves during the death overs.
