Bhuvneshwar Kumar (PWI, SRH)
Mat: 102|Wkts: 120|BB: 5/19
Bhuvneshwar Kumar has 120 wickets in 102 matches in IPL, playing mainly for Sunrisers Hyderabad and is the best death overs bowler in the league by far. His has the ability to swing the ball at the start and then bowl searing yorkers at the death. He is the only bowler to pick up the Purple cap for most wickets in back to back seasons in 2016 and 2017.
Lasith Malinga (MI)
Mat: 110|Wkts: 154|BB: 5/13
Lasith Malinga spent IPL 2018 as the mentor of the Mumbai Indians, but was picked by the franchise again as a player for IPL 2019. The highest wicket-taker in the league with 154 wickets to his name, Malinga joined MI in 2009 and since then has been their premier fast bowler, despite the rise of Jasprit Bumrah. Whatever is said about him is very less as he has paved way for many bowlers with weird actions to become impressive.
During the early years of the IPL, he was the most devastating bowler with his killer yorkers and harmful bouncers. Though with time, the pace and bouncers are gone, the yorkers and slower balls have replaced them and kept him effective as ever and will be interesting to see him bowl once again in 2019 edition.
Sunil Narine (KKR) (12th Man)
Mat: 98|Wkts: 112|BB: 5/19
All the teams need a capable 12th man, and who better than Sunil Narine for our all-time XI. Narine spell bounded the world with his mystery spin and unlike others, has remained relevant and effective as ever. Narine has 95 wickets in 82 matches and has taken a hat-trick in IPL as well. Since the last two IPL seasons in 2017 and 2018, Narine developed his batting and was used by KKR as an opener and even scored a 15-ball half-century, the second fastest in the league ever.
