Two of the best in the world

#4 Kings XI Punjab - Mujeeb Ur Rahman

Mujeeb Ur Rahman will be expected to step up

Mujeeb Ur Rahman's importance to Kings XI Punjab has just gone up a notch because of the fact that the Punjab franchise have now lost their frontline spinner Ravichandran Ashwin to Delhi Capitals. This means Mujeeb will definitely get more game time for KXIP this year compared to last season, where he barely played.

Mujeeb comes in the category of mystery spinners and right now, he is one best young players going around in world cricket. He can bowl both with the new ball and at the death, which makes him a brilliant asset to have. Even though he had an IPL to forget last year, he is still one of the best spinners going around and the presence of Anil Kumble will only help him get better.

In IPL 2020, the Afghanistan international will be expected to step up as he might be KXIP's most experienced spinner at 19-years-old.

#3 Delhi Capitals - Ravichandran Ashwin

Kings XI Punjab's loss is Delhi Capitals' gain as Ravichandran Ashwin will slot into the Delhi franchise's first XI straight away and he will be their best spinner, by a mile. Add to that the kind of spin we see on Feroz Shah Kotla and one can see Ashwin succeeding at DC.

Shreyas Iyer will have an experienced bowler to turn to this year, someone who can bowl at any stage. The 33-year-old will not only add his quality spin bowling to the squad, but his experience will also be vital for this young DC team.

#2 Chennai Super Kings - Imran Tahir

Chennai Super Kings have so many quality spinners in their ranks but one can't make this list and not add IPL 2019's Purple Cap winner, Imran Tahir. The veteran South African was a class apart last season and this year, something similar will be expected of him.

Tahir is a modern leg-spinner who loves to bowl googlies and doesn't toss up the ball too often. The 40-year-old is tailor-made for Chennai's turning track and one can see him having another stellar season this year.

#1 Mumbai Indians - Rahul Chahar

The find of the season
The find of the season

Rahul Chahar was most definitely the find of the season for Mumbai Indians last year as the leg-spinner came off age and performed like a man on a mission. Because of that, he was also rewarded with a national call-up in 2019.

Chahar's trump card is his fast leg-spinner that turns a long way and the occasional googly that he bowls. He was one of the biggest reasons why MI won the IPL title last year and this season when the hopes are high, it'll be interesting to see how he performs.
