5 great Indian off-spinners who could really spin the ball

#3 Rajesh Chauhan

Rajesh Chauhan made his name in the 1990s

Cricket fans and pundits alike are quite divided in their opinion when it comes to assessing the legacy of Rajesh Chauhan. Many remember him as the part of the famous spin troika in the 90s along with Anil Kumble and Venkapathy Raju.

Truth be told, Rajesh Chauhan was a fine off-spinner who had a good ability to spin the ball. Alongside Raju and Kumble's leg-breaks, he brought variety to the attack. He picked up 47 wickets from 21 Tests and has 29 scalps from the 35 ODIs he played in.

He holds the record for playing the maximum number of Tests without being on the losing side. He is also well remembered for hitting a last-over six against Saqlain Mushtaq to win the match at the National Stadium, Karachi in 1997. That famous win ensured a place for Chauhan in Indian cricketing folklore.
