Bad Answer (do not do this)
"Marco Jansen is primarily a death-overs specialist in the IPL." (Jansen's IPL value is in the Powerplay — 402 PP balls bowled, 17 wkts at 8.73 economy. He bowls only 66 balls in death overs (economy 11.82), confirming he is a Powerplay/swing specialist, not a death-overs bowler.)
