If you ask anyone who the best IPL bowler of all-time is, the answer will undoubtedly be Lasith Malinga. One of the most popular players, Malinga often made headlines with his deadly pace, accurate yorkers and slingy action which was his trademark.

The reason Mumbai have succeeded is that they have always had a match-winner they could rely on, with Malinga capable of turning any game on its head with his bowling. In the 2013 IPL final, he swung the match in Mumbai's favor by picking up 3 early wickets to rattle the CSK chase.

Malinga has picked up 154 wickets in 110 matches at a great average of 19.01 and an economy of just 6.86 which is staggering especially for a pace bowler. Malinga was MI's mentor last season but just when we thought that he was done as a player, he made a strong international comeback and was bought by Mumbai again at his base price of 2 Crores.
