5. James Pattinson
When James Pattinson was picked in the Mumbai Indians side in place of Lasith Malinga a lot many eyebrows were raised. Since we have always seen Pattinson as the test bowler but in this IPL we have witnessed Pattinson as the T20 bowler.
By all means, Pattinson has shown his white-ball capabilities in the two matches he has played for the Mumbai Indians franchise so far.
The Australian speedster has picked up 3 key wickets this season at an economy of just under 7 which is sensational for someone opening the bowling in the powerplays upfront.
