Lasith Malinga (Mumbai Indians):
The lethal and deadly Yorkers of the Sri Lankan genius Lasith Malinga were a part of the IPL’s attractions annually but this season, the 32-year old has not been able to get himself fit for the cash-rich tournament.
Having played his last ODI back in November 2015 Malinga who picked up an injury during that game was back in the Asia Cup for just a game. But it was evident that he was still not fit enough and later it was revealed that he would miss 6 more months of competitive cricket.
Surely, Rohit Sharma’s burden at the Mumbai franchise would have reduced with the 32-year old in the team.
