IPL 2018: Top 5 IPL spinners of all time

#1 Amit Mishra – 134 wickets

Amit Mishra

Amit Mishra was long seen as Anil Kumble’s replacement. However, it was a career which didn’t just take off, at least at the international level. However, his attacking leg-spin helped him take a lot of wickets in the IPL. Mishra is a wily customer and can out-fox the batsman in the air (with his flight) as well.

Amit Mishra with his 134 wickets (in 126 games) sits at the top of the tree in the best spinners of all-time in the IPL. He is the only player to take 3 hat-tricks in the IPL (in 2008, 2011 and 2013). And each hat-trick he took was for a different team (Delhi Daredevils, Deccan Charges and Sunrises Hyderabad).

He first started with Delhi Daredevils before moving to Deccan Charges and then Sunrises Hyderabad and finally moving back to Delhi. But he’s been a big wicket-taker for every franchise he’s played. Stemming the run-flow in the middle overs and picking up wickets at regular intervals. Thus, he is placed at #2 in the all-time wicket-takers list of the IPL and #1 in the spinners list.
