#2 Lasith Malinga

Like Chennai Superkings, Mumbai Indians also believes in player loyalty. Lasith Malinga is perhaps the biggest match-winner for Mumbai Indians in the IPL. The Sri Lankan seamer and his dreadful yorkers uprooting opposition batsmen stumps have been a common sight for every Mumbai Indians' fan over the years.
However, Malinga was not retained by Mumbai Indians at 2018 IPL auction due to indifferent form. Things got worse for the Sri Lankan as no other team showed interest in him and he went unsold. However, Mumbai Indians appointed him the team's bowling mentor for IPL 2018.
The 35-year-old battled fitness concerns and made a successful comeback to international cricket in the Asia Cup. As a result, Mumbai Indians bought him at his base price at the auction. Malinga still tops the list for the highest wicket-taker in the IPL.
