Top 5 Indian Off Spinners of all time

#1 Erapalli Prasanna

Prasanna had mastery over the flight and loop of his deliveries

Short and stout, sly as a fox, Prasanna was perhaps the greatest practitioner of off-spin bowling in the 1970s.

He put a lot of thought into his deliveries. He picked a total of 189 wickets in his 49 test long career.

A brisk run-up, fast arm and fierce revolutions on the ball deceived many a batsman in his time. He had complete mastery over the flight and loop of his deliveries.

Prasanna got prodigious drift and dip. He was the architect of India's first series win on New Zealand soil in 1967-68 under 'Tiger' Pataudi.

In Australia, often considered the graveyard of off-spinners, he averaged 31.12 capturing 31 wickets in eight tests. He captured 81 wickets at an average of 17.61 in 15 victorious matches. He last played for India in 1978.
