Milne went unsold at this year's auctions with a base price of INR 75 lakh. He is capable of bowling past the magical 150-kph mark on a consistent basis.

In fact, in Milne, the Mumbai Indians have found the right replacement for the injured Cummins. The speedster has represented New Zealand in 19 T20I matches so far and has taken 21 wickets at an economy of 7.38 with his best figures being 4/37.

He was a part of the Royal Challengers Bangalore in the past two editions (2016 and 2017) of the IPL. Overall, in five IPL games, Milne has taken 4 wickets at an economy of 9.83. But this season, he is yet to make his debut for Mumbai after coming in as a replacement.
