Discover who the top spin bowlers are in the IPL , both among the players currently in action and those considered the best ever in the league’s history.
5. Sunil Narine
Sunil Narine has taken 152 wickets in 148 matches for Kolkata Knight Riders, which puts him just behind Ashwin. He did really well in 2012, getting 24 wickets, and was named the Most Valuable Player (MVP). His performance played a big part in Kolkata Knight Riders winning their first title that year.
4. Ravichandran Ashwin
Next up is Ravichandran Ashwin. He has taken 157 wickets in 184 matches while playing for different teams like Chennai Super Kings, Delhi Capitals, Kings XI Punjab, Rajasthan Royals, and Rising Pune Supergiants. In 2023, he’s joining the Royals, and he’s expected to make a significant contribution to the Rajasthan team by adding more wickets to his name.
3. Piyush Chawla
Piyush Chawla is the third-best spinner in IPL history. He took 157 wickets in 165 matches. He played in the IPL until 2021. In 2023, he joined Mumbai Indians for 50 lakh. Before that, he played for Chennai Super Kings, Kings XI Punjab, and Kolkata Knight Riders.
2. Amit Mishra
The second-best bowler in IPL history is Amit Mishra. He took 166 wickets in 154 matches while playing for Deccan Chargers, Delhi Daredevils/Capitals, and Sunrisers Hyderabad. Mishra played in the IPL last in 2021. Now, he’s chosen by Lucknow Super Giants for the 2023 tournament. He might get more wickets in this tournament, but he might not play a big role in the team’s second season.
1. Yuzvendra Chahal
Yuzvendra Chahal is the best spinner in IPL history. He has taken 166 wickets in 131 matches for Mumbai Indians, Royal Challengers Bangalore, and Rajasthan Royals. Right now, he’s tied with the second-best player on the list, but he’s actually on top because he has played fewer matches.
