Top 5 left-arm bowlers produced by India

#2 Bishan Singh Bedi

Bishan Singh Bedi was one of the most elegant bowlers to ever play the game

There are some cricketers who are remembered by just numbers but there are some who manage to leave an indelible imprint on the game. Bishan Singh Bedi was one such cricketer whose languid run-up and silken action made him an unforgettable memory for those who were fortunate enough to watch him at the peak of his powers. His extravagant loop followed by tantalising dip bore as much alluring effect as a seducing Shakespearean sonnet.

With 266 wickets from 67 Tests at an average of 28.71 and economy rate of 2.14, Bedi remains the fourth most prolific left-arm spinner in the game's purest format. Despite metamorphosing into an obstinate critic during recent times, he does not hesitate to acknowledge genuinely remarkable feats on the field.
