LASITH MALINGA (SL)
Base Price- 2 crores INR
One of the greatest limited overs bowler and only one to get three hat-tricks in the ODI format, Lasith Malinga spent the 2018 IPL as a bowling mentor for the Mumbai Indian, which had released him prior to the auction.
Many had thought that Malinga’s playing days were over, but Malinga has suddenly found a new lease of playing career. Recently appointed captain of the Lankan team on their limited-overs leg for the tour of New Zealand; Malinga will like to add to his record 154 wickets in the Indian Premier League.
Hence, he has put his name back into the auction with a base price of INR 2 crores and very well could see franchises picking him for his brilliant skills in the shortest format and also as a mentor for their young bowlers.
