The 2020 season of the IPL was highly competitive. While all the teams fought for their place in the playoffs, one team remained dominant throughout the tournament. Hailed as the strongest T20 team ever, the Mumbai Indians is the most successful team in the history of the IPL. They were able to clinch the trophy four times within nine years. The most important man behind this success is none other than Lasith Malinga.

The Sri Lankan was the kernel of the bowling lineup. With multiple fast bowlers operating around him, he could take wickets whenever the team needed him to produce a magical spell. He has been part of the Mumbai Indians squad since the 2009 edition of the IPL. During the 2008 season, he took 18 wickets with an economy rate of 3/11. For other teams, Malinga was the most destructive bowler in the Mumbai lineup.

If we talk about his IPL career, he has taken 170 wickets with an economy rate of 7.14. In a game where the batsman dominates, this is an outstanding record. Apart from that. He has the best bowling figures of 5/13. This makes him the most valuable player for the Mumbai Indians.
