Despite his team not doing well in the 2010 edition, Pragyan Ojha managed to grab the limelight with some excellent bowling performances. Ojha’s performance showed that good old fashioned spin bowling still has a lot of value in modern cricket. Even when he went for runs, he did not hesitate to flight the ball and that fetched him a lot of wickets.

After having a brilliant 2009 season in South Africa, Anil Kumble was once again lethal in the 2010 edition as well. The legendary Indian leg spinner was undoubtedly the tournament’s best bowler as the batsmen struggled against his disciplined bowling.

He did not give any room for the batsmen to hit the ball and controlled the flow of runs from both ends. This resulted in batsmen getting out to other bowlers by playing big shots in an attempt to increase the scoring rate.
