Sunil Narine first came into the limelight with a notable performance in the Champions League T20 back in the year 2011. After his induction into the KKR in 2012 he was adjudged the player of the tournament for his stupendous bowling display. Narine got 24 scalps at an economy rate of 5.47 in his first season in the Indian T20 league. The KKR side retained him for his magnificent performance in 2014, the off spinner continues to be one of the reasons Kolkata have been able to turn things their way. During the CLT20 last season his bowling action was found to be illegal which resulted in Narine getting banned, he came back strong with a, corrected and modified bowling action for the Pepsi IPL 2015. He is as effective and accurate as he was prior to the questions raised on his action. Sunil Narine is probably the best spin bowler playing the league, and his stats speak for himself and this season as well KKR will rely heavily on him. 2. Ravichandran Ashwin: ‘Ash’ has been one of the most consistent bowlers for team India and CSK.(Photo Source: BCCI) ‘Ash’ has been one of the most consistent bowlers for team India and CSK. He has evolved as a spinner, and he has made minor adjustments to his bowing to suit the shortest format of the game. Ravichandran Ashwin is coming back to into IPL after an excellent World Cup 2015 for him as a bowler. He has been a regular feature in the CSK setup right from the 1st season and his ability to bowl with the new ball, curtail the runs and get wickets at crucial times makes him a lethal bowler in the T20 format. In the last season has notched up 16 wickets in 16 games with a best bowling figure of 3/30. Captain Dhoni throws the ball to Ashwin every time he finds himself in a spot of bother and Ashwin has never disappointed Mahi. He is one of the few spinners who can turn it around and bring his time back into the contest when a comeback looks unlikely. 3. Imran Tahir: The leg break bowler from the South Africa was quite a sensation in the T20 World Cup 2014.(Photo Source:BCCI) The leg break bowler from the South Africa was quite a sensation in the T20 World Cup 2014. In a crucial game against Netherlands, he got four valuable wickets giving away just 21 runs in his full quota. Imran Tahir went on to become the player of the match and was also the highest wicket taker in that tournament for South Africa. He has done exceedingly well against Sri Lanka and Pakistan in the recently concluded 50 over’s World Cup. Imran has the flight and variation that can deceive the batsmen and especially in a tournament like IPL he will be more than a handful. Most of the batsmen continually try to use the long handle against spinners, and that is where his experience and courage will make him effective. The Delhi Daredevils teams shall bank upon the South African spinner to get the job done for them. 4.

Mishra has the capability to spin and flight the ball and has a really effective googly that he uses to good effect. The 2008 IPL season was the one the leg spinner can never forget; he enjoyed superb success and complemented his performances with a hat-trick. He followed it up with some brilliant performances for the SRH in the 2014 edition of the IPL. Amit Mishra has a strong T20 record, in which he has taken 165 wickets and has a best bowling of 5/17 making him a tough nut to get through. 5. Axar Patel: A bowling all-rounder who has recently made his way into the Indian team will be raring to go when his team, Kings XI Punjab gets on the field.(Photo Source: BCCI) A bowling all-rounder who has recently made his way into the Indian team will be raring to go when his team, Kings XI Punjab gets on the field. Axar Patel had a dream run at the domestic level that earned him a spot in the Mumbai Indians team back in the year 2013. But Axar’s exploits at the KXIP got him the India call and he has been impressive in the limited chances that he was given. This young left arm spinner is known for bowling tight line’s and gets the ball to bounce using his height. He can be very effective on spinning wickets in the IPL and can easily be the next spinner to make a mark. Axar’s past performances in the IPL were respectable, he has taken 17 wickets in 17 games.
