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

#5 Amit Mishra

Mishra is slow in the air and gets a prodigious turn from the surface

Another wrist spinner who uses the googly to great effect is Amit Mishra. His greatest strength lies in the changes of pace through the air. He is slow in the air and gets a prodigious turn from the surface.

Mishra, who is an old-fashioned leg-spinner, gets most of his wickets either LBW or bowled, which is a testimony to the strong googly that he possesses. He sets the batsmen up with slow and loopy leg-breaks and then strikes with the googly.

Throughout his career, he has been in and out of the Indian team and has struggled to cement a place for himself in the international squad but there is no denying the fact that he is a genuine wicket-taker.
