He is the second-highest wicket-taker in IPL history just behind Lasith Malinga.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Mumbai Indians too brought in off-spinner Jayant Yadav replacing pacer Adam Milne. Yadav&#39;s job is to complement leg-spinner Rahul Chahar, who is having a successful season.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;<strong>We have made one change purely because of the conditions -Adam Milne misses out and we&#39;ve got Jayant Yadav,<\/strong>&quot; said MI skipper Rohit Sharma. Yadav will be key against DC&#39;s left-handed batsmen.<\/p>\r\n",
