It has become a necessity in T20 cricket to have a leg spinner in the side, especially on Indian tracks. Hence, all the IPL franchises would try to have at least one leg-spinner in the side who can turn the game around. In this situation, Adil Rashid from England can be regarded as one of the best possible options.

Rashid is a leg spinner who was a part of the winning squad in ICC Cricket World Cup 2019. He has been England’s marquee leg-spinner for quite a while. The 31-year-old made his international T20 debut in 2009 on the back of his impressive domestic performances.

He has played 40 T20I matches in his career, grabbing 39 wickets at a very promising economy rate of 7.51 with his best figures being 3 for 11. It would be interesting to see which team bids for him as he can be a game-changer in the spin department.
