Top 10 spinners of all time

#4 Bishan Singh Bedi

Bishen Singh Bedi

The mere sight of Bedi running in and bowling was enough to hail him as one of the finest spinners of all time. There was calmness, technical perfection, soothing rhythm and a textbook style charm in the way he approached the crease, loaded his bowling arm, delivered the ball and finished his follow-through.

The result of this clean action was classic left-arm bowling that troubled batsmen of all calibre. Bedi had plenty of tricks in his bag and his variations were mostly too good to handle for any batsman.

Plus he had the courage to flight the ball against all types of batsmen. Bedi's career spanned 67 Tests in which he claimed 266 wickets. He was also the member of India's spin quartet that dominated world cricket during the 1970s.
