IPL 2018: Top 5 IPL spinners of all time

#4 Ravichandran Ashwin – 100 wickets

Ravichandran Ashwin

Currently, Ravichandran Ashwin might not be in the limited-overs sides for India. But he was one of those Indian players who came into the spotlight through the IPL. A spinner who could open the bowling and then could bowl at any stage of the game, Ashwin soon became India’s No. 1 spinner across all formats.

Ashwin made his IPL debut in 2009, but he played only a couple of games in that season. It was the year 2010 that turned his career around. First, he played 12 games in the IPL and picked up 13 wickets in CSK’s first IPL title triumph, then he was the Player of the Series in the Champions League T20.

The Tamil Nadu off-spinner has an excellent record in the IPL – 100 wickets at an economy of 6.55. He uses his variations (the carom ball, the arm ball and others) brilliantly. Hence, with a century of wickets in the IPL, Ashwin is #4 on this list.
