8 Greatest leg spinners of all time

7. Richie Benaud, Australia:

Popularly known as a commentator, with an exciting voice that could bring alive the action on the field to the listeners, Richie Benaud brought alive the ball with his fingers and wrist in the exact manner. The Australian all-rounder could deceive a batsman by pitching the ball at the same length twice – once it would be a googly, the other time the batsman would anticipate a googly and face a topspin. That was one of the most effective tools Benaud had and he exploited it completely. He also possessed one of the rarest attributes about a leg spinner. He kept the batsman pinned since the first ball and never let him score much runs – just like Clarrie Grimmet. Richie Benaud has 248 Test wickets to his credit from 63 matches which come at an average of 27.03
