IPL 2025 First-choice Best Spinners Ranking for All 10 Teams
Rashid Khan, the greatest spinner in our best spinners ranking for all 10 teams for the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025.
The spin department is an area that every team has an eye on. The middle phase of the match is dominated by spinners, and you not only need a skillset that can stop the run-flow, but also aggressive spinners that are always on the lookout for wickets. Thankfully, the IPL is a tournament where the participating 10 teams have a decent set of spinners that may not be suitable for all kinds of wickets, but are good enough to bowl on most of the pitches.
Among the quality spinners that will be playing for different teams, we have Yuzvendra Chahal, the leading wicket-taker in IPL playing for Punjab Kings. Then we have Rashid Khan for Gujarat Titans, Varun Chakravarthy from KKR, and many more. But which team has the spin attack in the competition? Well, let’s analyze the spin attack of each team, and find out the best spinners ranking for all 10 teams for IPL 2025.
#10: IPL 2025 Best Spinners for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB)
Krunal Pandya, Suyash Sharma & Liam Livingstone (o)
RCB have one of the worst spin attacks in the competition. Led by krunal Pandya as their best spinner, RCB have Suyash Sharma and Liam Livingstone as the other two spinners in the side. Given the competition, RCB spinners feel no match to the quality, and they may have a hard time not just on spin-friendly tracks, but also on decent bowling wickets. But that’s the sad reality Royal Challengers Bengaluru will have to live with.
#9: IPL 2025 Best Spinner for Lucknow Super Giants (LSG)
Ravi Bishnoi, Shahbaz Ahmed & M Siddharth
Lucknow Super Giants have an inexperienced spin attack, and all three spinners lack quality experience in the side. Of the three best spinners, Ravi Bishnoi still has decent experience, but he is yet to reach the levels of Narine, Varun, Chahal, etc. Overall, Bishnoi and Shahbaz will lead the spin attack for LSG with support from M Siddharth, if required.
#8: IPL 2025 Best Spinners for Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH)
Adam Zampa (o), Rahul Chahar & Abhishek Sharma
Talking about Sunrisers Hyderabad, they have Adam Zampa and Rahul Chahat as their two best spinners, and Abhishek Sharma will play the role of a supporting spinner. While this is a good spin attack, the possibility of seeing Adam Zampa play seems less-likely given the overseas players restrictions.
#7: IPL 2025 Best Spin Bowlers for Delhi Capitals
Kuldeep Yadav & Axar Patel
Delhi Capitals have only two quality spinners on their side, Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel. While two spinners are less, the good thing is both Axar and Kudeep are International bowlers, and are among first-choice spinners in the country. Ideally, Delhi Capitals shouldn’t face any issues on generic pitches that assist both spin and pace bowling. However, they might face some issues if they play on Chennai and Kolkata kinds of wickets.
#6: IPL 2025 Spin Bowler List for Punjab Kings (PBKS)
Yuzvendra Chahal, Glenn Maxwell (o) & Harpreet Brar
Punjab Kings managed to get in Yuzvendra Chahal as their leading spinner for IPL 2025. But aside from Chahal, the team doesn’t have a quality spinner, and will have to rely on the likes of Glenn Maxwell and Harpreet Brar. However, this should still solve their problem, and they should be comfortable playing on all kinds of wickets.
#5: IPL 2025 Best Spinners for Mumbai Indians (MI)
Mujeeb ur Rahman (o) & Mitchell Santner (o)
Mumbai Indians suffered a huge blow ahead of the tournament as their leading spinner Allah Ghazanfar was ruled out of the competition. But as a blessing in disguise, MI got a like-for-like replacement in the form of Mujeeb ur Rahman. Alongside Mujeeb, MI have Mitchell Santner, thus highlighting the importance of two specialist spinners in the MI side. Overall, MI seems to have a potent spin attack that can do well in all conditions, except for Kolkata and Chennai, where they might need more spinners.
#4: IPL 2025 Best Spinners for Rajasthan Royals (RR)
Wanindu Hasaranga (o), Maheesh Theekshana (o) & Riyan Parag
Talking about Rajasthan Royals spinners, they have a solid duo of Wanindu Hasaranga and Maheesh Theekshana as their two best spinners in the side. Alongside these two, Riyan Parag is the third-best spinner, who could be used on turning tracks like Chennai and Kolkata. Overall, it is a decent spin attack that is suitable for all pitch conditions.
#3: IPL 2025 Best Spin Bowlers for Gujarat Titans (GT)
Rashid Khan (o), Washington Sundar & R Sai Kishore
Gujarat Titans have a potent spin attack with benchmark Rashid Khan leading the spin department. Alongside Rashid, GT have Washington Sundar and R Sai Kishore, and both are solid spinners in the side. With such a strong spin attack, GT are equipped to handle all kinds of wickets including Chennai and Kolkata where spin plays a prominent role.
#2: IPL 2025 Best Spin Bowlers for Chennai Super Kings (CSK)
Noor Ahmad (o), Ravindra Jadeja & Ravichandran Ashwin
If we talk about Chennai Super Kings, they are a spin-dominant side with three possible spinners in their first-choice playing 11. Chepauk has the most spin-friendly pitches among all pitches in the country, and Chennai always believes in making sure the home fortress is well taken care of. With three quality spinners in the side, Noor Ahmad, Ravichandran Ashwin, and Ravindra Jadeja, they are potent enough to play on kinds of wickets.
#1: IPL 2025 Best Spin Bowlers for Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR)
Varun Chakravarthy, Sunil Narine (o) & Mayank Markande
Kolkata Knight Riders have one of the best spin attacks in the competition. The presence of two mystery spinners, Varun Chakravarthy and Sunil Narine make them a dominant spin attack, and ideal for matches in Kolkata. But if we were to compare the spin attack of KKR and CSK, KKR might find a slight edge given the variety in spin attack, and less dependence on a finger spinner.
So, that’s about the best spinners ranking of all 10 teams for IPL 2025.
