9. Shahid Afridi (Pakistan)

India v Pakistan - ICC Champions Trophy — Shahid Afridi

'Boom Boom' Afridi just dint pack a punch with his power hitting but was quite a potent leg spinner for Pakistan in the late 90s. Afridi was different from the conventional leg spinner as he was quick through the air and bowled a flatter trajectory.

Afridi who bowled with a high arm action got good bounce off the surface which made him difficult to play. The 'Karachi Pathan' provided a good support cast to his more illustrious spinning counterparts - Mushtaq Ahmed and Saqlain Mushtaq.
