Having variety in the spin attack is a key factor for every franchise. While the skipper gets multiple options to devise his tactics, the batters also struggle to get used to the spinners. On that note, here, we take a look at the list of three teams with the best variety in spin attack for IPL 2024.
Note: Variety in spin attack for this listicle means different kinds of established spin-bowling types in the team. For instance, Rajasthan Royals has two top spinners but they do not have a reliable left-arm off-spinner, a bowling type that is a must for every T20 squad. The same logic holds good for CSK, who do not have a good leg-spinner.
1) Lucknow Super Giants
LSG plays at Lucknow, a spin that turns a lot. Hence, it is important for the team to have a good spin attack. They have also ensured good variety in this attack.
Ravi Bishnoi and Krunal Pandya tick the box when it comes to the two most popular spin-bowling types. K Gowtham and Deepak Hooda offer right-arm off-spin while Amit Mishra is the slow and traditional leggie. New recruit M Siddarth adds depth to this attack.
2) Kolkata Knight Riders
KKR usually relied on mystery spinners to do the job for them. It would still remain the same with Sunil Narine, Varun CV and Mujeeb Ur Rahman falling in this bracket.
In Suyash Sharma, the side has a proper leg-spinner, who gives the much-needed variety. Anukul Roy is the left-arm spinner and he shall be very useful in giving the balance.
3) Sunrisers Hyderabad
SRH is one of the teams with the best variety in spin attack for IPL 2024. The franchise added Wanindu Hasaranga and Shahbaz Ahmed for IPL 2024. These two spinners give the edge to this spin attack now.
Washington Sundar is a top right-arm off-spinner while Mayank Markhande is a frontline leg-spinner. Abhishek Sharma and Abdul Samad can offer part-time spin, in addition to Travis Head and Glenn Phillips. Hence, there are multiple options with diverse attributes.
