Perhaps, Lasith Malinga is the best bowler of this decade in the IPL. Be it record-wise or even the impact, Malinga has been brilliant for Mumbai Indians (MI). Season after season, the ace Sri Lankan pacer has stood up and delivered.

In 109 matches in this decade, Malinga has picked up 152 wickets which is the most by any bowler since January 2010. He has an average of a shade over 20 while the strike-rate is 16.64. The premier fast bowler has led MI and its bowling attack to multiple IPL titles.

In 2018, he went unsold but got linked with MI as a part of coaching stagg but in 2019, he was back. Malinga was on the expensive side but he delivered in the big final. Thus, Malinga is one of the first names on an all-time IPL team sheet.
