McClenaghan always provided the extra pace and bounce for Mumbai whenever he played and managed to get early wickets. The Kiwi wasn't in Mumbai's initial squad last season but was roped in as a replacement for the injured Pat Cummins. However, he proved his worth once again by picking up 14 wickets.
He was instrumental in Mumbai's success in IPL 2015, filling in for Corey Anderson. McClenaghan has picked up a total of 68 wickets and has a good bowling average of 24.42 and a decent economy rate as well.
McClenaghan is out of the reckoning for a berth in his national side and is expected to play a key role this season for Mumbai.
