1) Sunil Narine

The T20 specialist from the West Indies had the batsmen dancing on his tunes with his both ways spin bowling. He bowls the off break and the knuckle ball which goes the other way with a negligible change in action. Narine’s fantastic ability helped him become the number 1 bowler in T20Is and also helped Kolkata Knight Riders win the IPL a couple of times.

In the 2014 Champions League T20, he was reported for illegal action two matches in a row and was banned from bowling in the final. He then withdrew himself from the West Indies squad for the 2015 ODI World Cup. After over a year, he made a comeback to the national side but was suspended, this time by the ICC.

He had to withdraw himself from the 2016 World T20 as well to work on remodelling the action. Later he was given a go to bowl again but his changed action hasn’t been as effective as before. He is not able to turn the ball as much and the magic of Narine surely seems to have disappeared.
