IPL 2019: 3 Teams with the best spin-bowling arsenal

#2 KOLKATA KNIGHT RIDERS

Narine and Kuldeep form a potent duo

Sunil Narine, Kuldeep Yadav, and Piyush Chawla have long been the backbone of KKR's bowling line-up. While Narine and Chawla used to rule the roost in the early years' post-2010, the rise of Kuldeep Yadav over the past 2 seasons has been a huge blessing for the Knight Riders.

Bamboozling batsmen with his left-arm wrist spin, Yadav keeps the opposition on their toes throughout. With not too many chinaman bowlers of his kind around, replicating him in the nets becomes a tough proposition too. Chawla might be on the decline, but Narine continues to perform, despite pertinent questions regarding his bowling action. With an added dimension in his batting, he has excelled as an opener too.

#1 KINGS XI PUNJAB

Ashwin has a host of spinners to assist him

The ever-evolving skipper Ravichandran Ashwin keeps adding new tricks up his sleeve to keep the batsmen at bay. In Mujeeb ur Rahman they have the mystery spinner every team craves. Capable of providing breakthroughs right from the powerplay, Mujeeb is the lynchpin of the spin bowling line-up. Having lost Axar Patel to the Delhi Capitals, they instead splurged on the mystery of Tamil Nadu tweaker Varun Chakravarthy. Supposedly having 7 variations under his belt, it would be interesting to watch him in action for the Kings XI.
