One of the aspects of the middle-order is to have good players of spin. In IPL, teams have to play at various venues. Some of the venues could turn square and hence, it is required to have skilful players of spin. Also, these cricketers must have good power so that they can clear the boundaries easily. On that note, here, we take a look at the list of three teams with the best spin-bashers in the middle order for IPL 2024.
1) Chennai Super Kings (Shivam Dube, Daryl Mitchell and Sameer Rizvi)
CSK’s middle order has always been excellent against spin bowl. It is one of the requirements for the squad because they most of their games at Chepauk, which is one of the spinning tracks in India.
Shivam Dube has developed his game against spin well in recent years. His long levers, power and his skills help him do well against spin. Daryl Mitchell and Sameer Rizvi are also two top players of spin who have joined the team recently.
2) Lucknow Super Giants (KL Rahul, Deepak Hooda and Nicholas Pooran)
If KL Rahul bats in the middle order, opposition teams might struggle to have their spinners run the show in the middle overs. Rahul is technically strong against spinners and it makes it difficult for the opposition captain.
Deepak Hooda’s range against spin is one of the best in the country. Pooran can bash junk spin and his power allows him to tackle even when spinners bowl well.
3) Kolkata Knight Riders (Shreyas Iyer, Nitish Rana and Andre Russell)
KKR is one of the teams with the best spin-bashers in the middle order for IPL 2024. Shreyas Iyer is one of the best spin-bashers in India right now. Hence, he adds terrific value here.
Usually, left-handers struggle against right-arm off-spinners. However, Rana is different. His matchups are positive against these types of spinners. Russell is one of the strongest built batters and spinners usually are hit long by the West Indian cricketer.
