    IPL 2018: Top 5 spinners in the Indian Premier League

    Spinners have proved to be game changers in several T20 matches. Over the years, we have seen several wrist spinners weaving their magic in the Indian Premier League. From hat-tricks to leaving the best of the batsmen bamboozled, here is our list of the top five spinners from the last 10 seasons of the cash-rich league.

    KKR's mystery spinner Sunil Narine

    KKR's Sunil Narine, the mystery spinner who can turn the ball both ways, set the IPL on fire by bagging 24, 22 and 21 wickets in his first 3 seasons. However, ever since he remodelled his bowling action, he hasn't been at his best. Narine has bagged 95 wickets in 82 matches at an average of 21.37 and an economy of 6.33.

    CSK's ace spinner Ravichandran Ashwin

    India's premier off-spinner, Ravichandran Ashwin is a no-brainer in this list. After being 8 years with CSK, the 31-year-old played for Pune in 2016 but missed the last edition due to an injury. This season he has been selected as the captain of the Kings XI Punjab. The carom ball ace has bagged 100 wickets in 111 matches of the IPL.

    Leg-spinner Piyush Chawla

    Piyush Chawla is one of the most successful spinners in IPL. Chawla has a lot of variations in his kitty, which makes him a wicket taking bowler in the shortest format of the game. However, Chawla's problem remains his economy rate. Chawla is the 4th leading wicket-taker in the IPL, with 126 wickets in 129 games at an average of 25.88.

    India's veteran spinner Harbhajan Singh

    Harbhajan Singh is one of the 3 players, along with Virat Kohli and Shaun Marsh, who have played for only one franchise in the last 10 editions. However, in this season Bhajji will wear the yellow jersey of Chennai Super Kings and his experience will be vital for the team. He is the 3rd-highest wicket-taker in the IPL will 127 wickets in 136 games.

    Ace leg-spinner Amit Mishra

    Indian leg-spinner Amit Mishra is our top pick amongst spinners in the Indian Premier League. The 35-year-old is the only player with 3 IPL hat-tricks to his name. He has been prolific for every franchise he has played for and sits on number 2 spot (only behind Malinga) in the list of leading wicket takers in IPL. He has 134 wickets in 126 matches.
