Last season, the IPL was hosted in the United Arab Emirates. While the conditions were a treat for fast bowlers, it wasn’t the same for spin bowlers. However, the 3 venues which will host the matches this year are renowned to provide spin bowlers with the perfect playing conditions. That said, here is a list of 3 teams with the best spin bowlers in IPL 2021:
3. Chennai Super Kings
Chennai Super Kings endured a rather dismal season in IPL 2020. For the first time in IPL history, CSK failed to qualify for the IPL playoffs. However, CSK will look to come back this season and will look to improve upon the bowling department. This time, the franchise has bought in Moeen Ali and Krishnappa Gowtham in the side. CSK already has the presence of South African bowler Imran Tahir. Indian cricketer Ravindra Jadeja will also add to CSK’s spin bowling firepower this season. With such quality spin bowlers, CSK is at no 3 on our list.
2. Delhi Capitals
The Delhi franchise has some world-class spinners on its side. Their lead spin bowler R Ashwin has been in tremendous form lately. Amit Mishra is another spin bowler who could bring in a ton of experience in the bowling department. Furthermore, Axar Patel, who had a decent outing with India recently, is also part of the Delhi Capitals. DC also boasts some quality spin bowling backup options in the form of Praveen Dubey, Manimaran Siddharth, and Lalit Yadav. With the perfect balance of experience and talent in the spin bowling department, DC is at no 2 on this list.
Kolkata Knight Riders
No team in the IPL has better spin bowlers than Kolkata Knight Riders have. The Kolkata franchise undoubtedly has the strongest spin attack on paper. KKR recently acquired Shakib Al Hasan and Harbhajan Singh in the IPL 2021 auction. KKR also have their main spin bowler in the form of Sunil Narine. Furthermore, Indian spinner Varun Chakravarthy was also fantastic with the ball in the IPL last season. With a solid spin bowling lineup this season, KKR could dominate any batting opposition with relative ease.
