Legspinners have become very vital in the limited format of the game.They might go for some runs,but they always have the tendency to give the skipper a wicket.Even if you look in the past,legspinners like Shane Warne,Anil Kumble,Saqlain Mushtaq have dominated the game.In t20s,especially in long tournaments like IPL,the legspinners come very handy.They can give you a match winning wicket even on their bad days.This is why the legspinners were paid huge money by the franchises in this year's auction.In this blog,we are going to tell you about 5 gamechanging leggies in this year's IPL:
1.Rashid Khan:
Rashid Khan is probably one of the best wrist spinners present out there.He is currently ranked 2 in ODI and 1 in t20s in the latest ICC bowler rankings.Besides when he was picked up by Sunrisers Hyderabad last year,he had a tremendous IPL season and provided many match winning spells.This is the reason Sunrisers Hyderabad used RTM to buy him this year too at a whopping amount of 9crore.He is currently the most expensive spinner in IPL.If required,he can provided some cameos with the bat too.At a tender age of 19,Rashid Khan from Afghanistan has taken him and his team to a very high position.
2.Yuzvendra Chahal:
The very reason that Chahal got a berth in the Indian team is because of IPL.He has been the highest wicket taker in IPL for the last 3 seasons.Even in the latest ICC t20 rankings,Chahal is placed at 2nd position.This shows how good of a bowler Chahal is in t20s.Even in batting friendly conditions like Chinnaswamy,where other RCB bowlers get thrashed away,Chahal has been rendering match winning performances constantly.He has been so consistent with the ball that RCB used their RTM to buy him this year for a very good price of 6crore.Chahal is never afraid of giving the ball a flight and this has been one of his main reasons of success.
3.Sandeep Lamichhane :
Sandeep Lamichhane is just 17 years old.But his age doesn't define his magic with the ball.This guy at such a tender age has pulled off some match winning performances for Nepal.Even he was shocked when Delhi Daredevils bought him at a base price of 20 lakhs.Born in Syangja,this guy has given the Nepalese cricket fans some reason to cheer for in the IPL.It will be very important to see how Gautam Gambhir,the skipper of Delhi Daredevils,uses him in the IPL.As for now,he is a very talented kid and will do wonders for Delhi as well as Nepal in the future.If you guys want more news about Sandeep,follow the blog(at the top right corner) and follow us on twitter@cric_infinity,also do comment.
4.Kuldeep Yadav :
Kuldeep is different from everyone else on the list.This is because he is a left-handed leg spinner,popularly known as Chinaman.Now let me tell you that these Chinaman bowlers are a lot more difficult to pick than normal leg spinners.This along with his recent success with the national team are the reasons why KKR used their RTM to buy him at the auction this year for an amount of 5.8 crore.Kuldeep generally has less experience in t20 format than other formats of the game.Gambhir during his captaincy at KKR really used him well.It will be very interesting to see how Dinesh Karthik uses him this year.
5.Rahul Chahar:
This is why our blogs are a bit different from other blogs you will find on Internet.We always add an element of surprise to each blog.In this blog,its Rahul Chahar.This 18 year old guy played for Rising Pune Supergiants in the last season.But it was very shocking to know that despite of his good performance,he wasn't selected in the Indian U-19 cricket team for this year's World Cup.Anyways hard work always pays off,so he was bought by Mukesh Ambani's Mumbai Indians this year at the auctions for an unexpected price of 1.9 crore.He has been in good form in the domestic circuit too recently.Since Mumbai Indians haven't bought many spinners,Chahar will definitely get a lot of games to play.If he performs upto the expectaions,he can win many matches for the Mumbai Indians.
Honourable mentions:
There are some other legspinners too who can prove to be gamechangers for their team such as Imran Tahir,Amit Mishra,Piyush Chawla,Karn Sharma,Murugan Ashwin,Adam Zampa.
