IPL 2019: The best spinner from each team

Kolkata Knight Riders - Kuldeep Yadav

Kuldeep Yadav

The Kolkata Knight Riders have quite a few good spinners in their ranks, but considering the recent exploits, it is beyond doubt that Kuldeep Yadav is the leader of the pack. Being the only 'chinaman' bowler to come from India, Kuldeep is unique in every aspect of his game.

Unlike many contemporary bowlers, Kuldeep is a classical leg-spinner who bowls like someone from the old school. He uses flight to deceive the batsman along with a set of effective variations. Since he is a traditional spinner, there is no question of him losing his way after the batsmen find a way to decipher his mystery. Kuldeep has picked 35 IPL wickets from 31 games so far.

It's his consistency in hitting the right lengths that earns him wickets.

Sunrisers Hyderabad - Rashid Khan

Rashid Khan

Rashid Khan has miraculously risen to the top after splendid performances in the 2017 and 2018 editions of the IPL. The Afghanistan leg-spinner is virtually impossible to read for any batsman at the moment and the opposition teams consider it a huge moral victory if they manage to play his spell out without losing a wicket.

Unlike few of his leg-spin counterparts, bowling quicker through the air comes naturally to Rashid. The 20-year-old will look forward to another successful season with the SRH in 2019. In T20 cricket, Rashid has 218 wickets from 145 games with best of 5/3. How about that?
