#11 Spinner- Bhagwat Chandrasekhar (India)

Bhagwat Chandrasekhar

Among India's famed spin quartet of the 1960s and 1970s, Bhagwat Chandrasekhar was probably the most dangerous bowler and had the ability to run through batting line-ups with his special brand of bowling. He was afflicted with polio as a child and that affected his right arm. However, he turned it into a weapon of sorts with the help of a quick arm action and bowling fast leg-spin. He was sometimes as quick as a medium pacer and even bowled bouncers.

However, Chandrasekhar could bowl googlies, flippers, the top-spin and the leg break at good pace. He was an extremely awkward bowler to face for most batsmen and in a T20 game, with batsmen trying to hit everything out of the park, he would be able to pick up wickets quite easily. It would add a different dimension to this already strong bowling attack.
