Top 5 spin bowling all-rounders of all time

#4 Daniel Vettori (New Zealand)

Vettori is New Zealand's most capped player in both Tests and ODIs

Like Ravichandran Ashwin, Daniel Vettori was someone who started out purely as a batsman before honing his batting skills to such an extent that he was considered a serious threat by the opposition bowlers.

Vettori is most capped player for New Zealand in both Tests and ODIs. He is their leading wicket-taker in ODIs with 305 wickets and is only behind the legendary Sir Richard Hadlee amongst Test wicket-takers for the Black Caps.

He also led the national side since Stephen Fleming's retirement and carried out the responsibility in a calm and composed manner much like his predecessor.

Vettori has six Test centuries to his name and an average of 30 in the longest format of the game. In T20Is, he is the most economical bowler in history upon possessing an economy-rate of 5.70.
