Top 5 ODI off-spinners of all time

#4 Daniel Vettori

Daniel Vettori

The former New Zealand captain made his ODI debut back in 1997 and over the next 18 years, Daniel Vettori proved to be one of the most important members of their bowling attack. The left arm off-spinner was an extremely crafty bowler.

Vettori could turn the ball on a helpful surface, vary his length, give the ball just enough air or fire in the arm ball to an unsuspecting batsman and that is what made him a bowler against whom, some of the best batsmen thought twice before taking liberties.

A career economy rate of 4.12 is ample proof of his prowess as a bowler and the fact that he adjusted with the changing nature of the ODI game every time, is another indication of his greatness as an ODI bowler.

He picked up 305 wickets in 295 ODI games and averaged 31.71 in his career.
