IPL 2018: 5 foreign players who might warm benches for the entire season

#3 Akila Dananjaya (Mumbai Indians)

Set to join his compatriot MI mentor Mahela Jayawardene

Only two Sri Lankans are going to be a part of this year's IPL and both of them, unfortunately, made it to the inauspicious list. The second one of those, Akila Dananjaya, was bagged by Mumbai Indians at his base price of ₹ 50 lacs.

Mumbai Indians' overseas quota seems to be booked already with the likes of the right-to-matched Kieron Pollard, Evin Lewis, Pat Cummins, Jason Behrendorff, JP Duminy, and even Ben Cutting.

Furthermore, MI spin attack looks well settled with Indian names shared by Krunal Pandya, Rahul Chahar, Anukul Roy, and Tajinder Dhillon, making it gloomy for Akila to get a go this season.
