Thread: IPL spinners graphic on wrist spinners. RTs appreciated!

Features Bishnoi, Hasaranga, Chahar, Chahal, Rashid, Kuldeep M Ashwin and Gopal. Googly splits vs LHBs & RHBs, lengths and much more.

Bishnoi's wide release point makes his googly more potent. It's skiddy & low.

2) RCB's Hasaranga has the lowest release height among spinners in IPL 2021. No wonder he gets his googly to hit the stumps more often than anyone in the circuit. He uses his googly a lot to RHBs.

3) While Punjab's Rahul Chahar can deliver back of the hand leg break and googly, his length control still leaves a lot to be desired. Also, he doesn't use his googly nearly as much as the rest.

4) RR's Chahal is a stand out IPL bowlers for years now and recently increased googly usage in line with the current trend. He has also gone more round arm to add tooth to his leg break.

5) Rashid Khan, enough said

6) DC's Kuldeep Yadav has struggled to improve his pace and been too floaty. His defensive skills are not up to the mark and he is working to fix that aspect of his game. But, potential is immense.

7) MI's Murugan Ashwin is one of the biggest turners of both the leg break and googly. But, he is still not accurate enough and that reflects in higher than average drag down balls and half volleys. He does have enough skills to turn it around though.

8) SRH's Shreyas Gopal has been struggling to find any rhythm to his bowling. He has struggled for control. A huge exponent of the googly against LHBs , Gopal would look to redeem himself under Murali's watch

Check out this video on RCB's Hasaranga and his googly threat.

Here's an article on Ravi Bishnoi and what makes him stand out. cricketwithash.com/p/ravi-bishnoi…
