5) Lasith Malinga
Lasith Malinga has chosen Mumbai Indians over his Sri Lankan side, Southern Express in the Champions League Twenty20 cricket tournament.
Nishantha Ranatunga, the Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) Secretary said that the pacer had a talk with the officials and had conveyed his wish to play for the Indian team. Malinga captained the Southern Express to win the local Super 4s T20 competition.
The toe-crusher bowler missed some matches of IPL and could not contribute to the team in the playoffs but this time they believe that he will stay till the end and defent the title for Mumbai. However still in 10 matches, he picked up 16 wickets at a reasonable economy rate of 6.45.
