6 modern day wrist spinners who turn googlies more than leg-breaks

India v New Zealand - 2011 ICC World Cup Warm Up Game
Piyush Chawla's career hasn't lived up to its potential

Rashid Khan

BBL - Strikers v Heat
Rashid's leg breaks also turn

Rashid Khan, the young Afghan sensation, also relies more on his googly than the conventional leg-break. He has an unusual bowling action and hence, he is proving to be a tough nut to crack for batsmen all over the world with his variations.

Even when he bowls quick through the air, he is able to get some healthy purchase from the surface. His leg breaks also turn but he gets a huge turn from his googlies and this, combined with his quickness through the air, gets him the majority of his wickets.

He has been on a roll ever since making his debut for Afghanistan and he surely has a bright future ahead of him.
