Lasith Malinga 154 wickets
Lasith Malinga has been one of the few players who has stayed put with one IPL franchise since the time the tournament kicked off in 2008. While he moved on from being a bowler to a coach in the last season of the IPL, the Sri Lankan was bought back in the auction ahead of this year’s IPL. With 154 wickets against his name, he is the leading wicket-taker in the IPL. While his powers may be on the wane, having someone like him, just to guide the fellow MI bowlers on the field, is a big bonus. @AFP

Amit Mishra 146 wickets
While Amit Mishra may not be in the reckoning to make it to the Indian side, he remains the spinner with the most number of IPL wickets and second overall with 146 wickets in 136 games. He also remains the only player with three IPL hat-tricks and he has got them with three different teams – Deccan Chargers, Delhi Daredevils, who now are Delhi Capitals, and Sunrisers Hyderabad. Mishra was his team’s second highest wicket-taker in IPL 2018 with 12 wickets in 10 matches and as the Delhi franchise looks to win its maiden IPL title, the 35-year-old will have his task cut out. @AFP
