5 oversees spinners who exploited Indian conditions

3. Saqlain Mushtaq

The Indian fans will never forgive Saqlain for what he did to India in the famous Madras Test of 1999. Saqlain revolutionised off-spin bowling with his doosra and the teesra and was destined for legendary status. However, his inconsistency cost him his spot in the squad.

Pakistan was touring India after a decade in 1999. This was Saqlain’s only Test matches in India and he played 3 of them and consistently posed threat to the Indian batsmen in their own backyard. He picked up 24 wickets in those 3 games at the cost of a shade below 21 and an economy rate of 2.7. It’s the game’s loss that the Indians couldn’t host the maestro for more matches.
