Lasith Malinga:
If there is any bowler who can guarantee success in the batsmen dominated format as a bowler, then it has to be Lasith Malinga without any doubt. The Sri Lankan fast bowler made the best players of fast bowling doubt their capabilities with the use of his slingy action, nippy pace and toe-crushing yorker. He was forced to miss the inaugural edition with a knee injury but made an entry with the Mumbai Indians in 2009. Since then, he has been quite devastating. He is currently the highest wicket taker in the league snaring 143 wickets in just 98 matches. His economy rate of 6.67 runs is the second best among all the current bowlers only behind Ravichandran Ashwin who has an economy of 6.54.
