The left-arm fast medium bowler played three seasons for the Mumbai Indians in the IPL. The kiwi pacer was an integral part of the Mumbai Indians’ bowling unit, having scalped 54 wickets in 40 matches at an economy of 8.61.

He dismissed batsmen on many occasions with his pace variations and was skipper Rohit’s go-to bowlers in the past three editions. Having won two titles in three years (2015 and 2017), his stint with the Mumbai outfit was an incredible one.

Much to everyone’s surprise, he went unsold in this year’s auctions with a base price of Rs.1 crore. McClenaghan will bolster the Knight Riders bowling attack with his cutters and slow-deliveries and might be an ideal replacement for the injured Mitchell Johnson.
