Top 10 spinners in One Day International cricket from 1990-1999

3. Anil Kumble (India)

Anil Kumble

Anil Kumble would go down as one of the best leg spinners to have graced international cricket. Anil led the Indian spin attack with distinction all through the 90s. Anil wasn’t a great turner of the ball but had a bagful of variations to clean up batting orders. He mixed up his flippers and top spinner with his stock leg spinners to outfox the batsman.

Kumble was deceptively quick off the air and his deliveries hurried onto the batsman. India won many a matched at the back of Kumble’s heroics on spin friendly Indian wickets. A hard core competitor on the field , Kumble proved that a bowler did not have to be a big turner of the ball to be a great spinner.
