Chahal has been the leading leg-spinner for India for quite a while as far as limited overs cricket is concerned. He didn't have the best of times in his first match of this year's IPL against the KKR conceding 29 in his 3 overs and failed to strike even once.

In his 57 IPL matches, he has already picked up 70 wickets and his performance will be vital for RCB's success this season. He is someone who is not afraid of giving the ball some air and extract some turn and can strike at crucial junctures of the tournament.

#8 Rashid Khan (Sunrisers Hyderabad)

The mystery spinner from Afghanistan was unplayable in the IPL 2017 and was the key to SRH's success in the tournament. The 19-year-old has already picked up 18 wickets in 15 matches and has got an economy rate of 6.57.

He started off pretty well in this year's IPL, getting figures of 23 for one in his quota of 4 overs against the Rajasthan Royals, and gave his team a scintillating start to the tournament.
