#1 Imran Tahir -171 (Bowling)

The wily wrist spinner has made a huge mark in international cricket with his bowling but his rating on the 'Sachin Saga' game has come under the scanner.
Rated higher than Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh (152) and Ravichandran Ashwin (161) and Ravi Jadeja (69), Tahir has made it to the third highest-ranked spinner behind Shane Warne and Sri Lanka's Muttiah Muralitharan.

While a lot of Tahir's success can be attributed to the T20 format, 57 wickets from 36 matches at an economy of 6.80 do paint a pretty picture but his dip in form off-late stripped him from his top rank in the T20 bowlers' rankings and is now placed fifth on the charts.
