In the Indian Premier League (IPL), spinners become important for any team as on turning tracks of India, they play a crucial role in providing breakthroughs to their teams in middle-overs. In the tournament's last edition, Yuzvendra Chahal from Rajasthan Royals (RR) won the Purple Cap by becoming the highest wicket-taker with 27 wickets in 17 games with a scintillating economy of 7.75. Along with Chahal, Wanindu Hasaranga from Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) with 26 wickets, Kuldeep Yadav from Delhi Capitals (DC) with 21 wickets, and Rashid Khan from Gujarat Titans (GT) with 19 wickets also dominated the chart of the leading wicket-takers in the IPL.

Going through these stats, it can be said that in the league, spinners are an integral part of any team to achieve success in games. Talking about past performances also, it can be said that spinners such as Sunil Narine, Imran Tahir, Pragyan Ojha, Ravichandran Ashwin, and Harbhajan Singh have dominated the tournament with their incredible spin bowling skills. In the upcoming mini-auction on December 23, 2022, in Kochi, the franchises would look forward to investing in some good spinners keeping the Indian conditions and amazing past record of spinners in the tournament in mind.

5 spin bowlers who could initiate bidding battle among the franchises in mini-auction

This year the West Indies left-arm spinner <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/search/?q=Akeal+Hosein" title="Akeal Hosein" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Akeal Hosein</a> has registered his name for the forthcoming IPL mini-auction. The 29-year-old spinner playing for his national team scalped 25 wickets in 32 T20I games at an economy rate of 7.03. Looking at his figures for the Caribbean team, it can be said that at the auction table, he could be one of the favourite spinners for the franchises to rope in their teams.

On spin-friendly wickets of India, Hosein with his slow left-arm orthodox spin can trouble batters. The Windies spinner with his variations in speed and length can also hoax big names in batting. In the matches he played, the bowler also impressed many fans of the game by using carrom balls and arm balls to trap batters.

At the auction, with his spectacular bowling record and proficient bowling skills, he could attract a massive amount from the franchises such as Mumbai Indians (MI) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) who lack a matcher-winning spin bowler in the squad.

<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/search/?q=Mujeeb+Ur+Rahman" title="Mujeeb Ur Rahman" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mujeeb Ur Rahman</a> made his debut in IPL 2018 for Punjab Kings (PBKS), and by taking 14 wickets in 11 games at an excellent economy rate of 6.99, he made his first season successful. The off-spinner after 2018, played two more editions for the Kings but couldn’t repeat his debut performance again.

In 2021, he was bought by Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at the mini-auction but with Rashid Khan and Mohammad Nabi both being a part of the squad, Mujeeb could play only one game. In the mega auction of the 2022 IPL, the Afghan bowler didn’t get any buyers but the same could not be the case in the 2023 IPL mini-auction.

Mujeeb, playing for his national team Afghanistan, has notched up 49 wickets in 36 T20I games at a brilliant economy of 6.22 and an average of 17.02. Considering these numbers of the off-spinner in international T20Is, some franchises could show interest in him at the 2023 auction. In the current scenario, Gujarat Titans (GT) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) don’t have an extra spinner with international experience, and to fill that void, these two franchises might go for him at the auction.

<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/search/?q=Shakib+Al+Hasan" title="Shakib Al Hasan" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Shakib Al Hasan</a>, one of the legends of Bangladesh cricket team, has immense experience in the cash-rich IPL. From 2011 to 2019, he played for the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and gave some match-winning moments to them too with his bowling. In 2020, he couldn’t participate in the league due to his ban from International Cricket Council (ICC) but in 2021, he joined the KKR again at the price of INR 3.20 crores.

Playing in the league after two years, Hasan got only four wickets in eight matches, which couldn’t make him a reliable player for the franchise to retain him for the 2022 season. At the mega auction of 2022, he went unsold as no franchise showed interest in his name. But at the mini-auction 2023, some teams considering his experience and ability, could buy him.

Serving Bangladesh since 2006, Shakib has bagged 128 wickets in 109 T20I matches at an economy rate of 6.83. While in his IPL career too, he has been impressive by grabbing 63 wickets in 71 games at a magnificent economy of 7.43. Noticing these numbers of him in both the international arena and IPL, some franchises could get enticed and buy him at the forthcoming auction.

<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/search/?q=Adam+Zampa" title="Adam Zampa" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Adam Zampa</a> in the last auction of the IPL went unsold despite becoming the second leading wicket-taker in the ICC T20 World Cup 2021 with 13 wickets in just 7 games. In the Indian Premier League, he first appeared in 2016 by playing for Rising Pune Super Giants (RPSG). With six wickets against SRH in his debut season, the Aussie bowler grabbed the attention towards himself.&nbsp;&nbsp;

But playing for the same team again in 2017, Zampa looked ineffective and in 2020, Virat Kohli-led Royal Challengers Banglore (RCB) invested in him to reinforce the bowling line-up of the team but he by getting only two wickets in three matches at an expensive economy rate of 8.36 disappointed both the team management and RCB fans.

Unlike the last auction, Zampa could be one of the most sought-after figures at the upcoming mini-auction after delivering consistent performances in international T20I events. In the recent T20 World Cup 2022 also, he along with Josh Hazlewood was the most successful bowler for Australia with five wickets in three games at a spectacular economy rate of 6.66. Noticing his back-to-back hit shows with the ball in T20 World Cups, Zampa might bound franchises to have a bidding battle on the auction table.

In the T20 World Cup 2022, <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/search/?q=Adil+Rashid" title="Adil Rashid" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Adil Rashid </a>was one of the crucial players to help England clinch their second title. With four wickets in six games at an economy rate of 6.12, Rashid was one of the best bowlers for England in the tournament. Recently he registered his name at the IPL mini-auction 2023 to play the league’s next edition.&nbsp;

His base price is INR 2 crores but looking at his recent form with the ball, he is considered one of the favourite spinners to receive an enormous amount from the franchises. In the 2021 season, he got a chance to play for Punjab Kings by replacing the injured Jhye Richardson but by giving 35 runs against Rajasthan Royals (RR) in three overs on his debut, the bowler got dropped for the remaining season.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

In the 2022 mega auction, he went unnoticed among the franchises but after delivering some incredible bowling performances in the 2022 World T20, it’s almost unlikely for him to get ignored by the franchises.
