5. Mushtaq Ahmed (Pakistan)
Mushtaq Ahmed was a classical spinner in the true sense. Ahmed had a high arm action and used his supple wrists to get good flight in the air. ‘Mushi’ was spot on with his leg spinners and mixed up his googlies to cast a web around opposition. For most of the 90s, Ahmed formed a potent spin attack with Saqlain Mushtaq.
The sight of Mushtaq approaching the crease with his hip hop action is still fresh in cricket lovers mind. Mushtaq along with Australia's Shane Warne are credited for having revived the dying art of leg spin in ODI cricket.
