6 modern day wrist spinners who turn googlies more than leg-breaks

India v New Zealand - 2011 ICC World Cup Warm Up Game
Piyush Chawla's career hasn't lived up to its potential

#3 Imran Tahir

South Africa v Sri Lanka: Quarter Final - 2015 ICC Cricket World Cup
Perhaps he is the only spinner in this list who uses the leg-break more

Imran Tahir is another wrist spinner who turns googly more than the leg break. Perhaps he is the only spinner in this list who uses the latter more often than the former, but he still picks up most of his scalps through the googly.

He is a product of the limited overs game where the batsmen show no mercy towards the bowler and this justifies his reluctance to flight the ball more often.

The leg-spinners from Tahir keep things tight and he always attacks the stumps while using them. Every now and again he would slip in a googly that would turn ferociously and bamboozle the batsmen.
