The Indian Premier League (IPL) has produced some of the greatest hard-hitting batsmen of all-time. The players become more special when it comes to striking against the spinners as the technique needs to be on point. On the other hand, scoring against pacers, the timing of the batsmen is one of the most crucial aspects. 

Finger-spinners are more conventional bowlers. Their bowling style is also quite orthodox, and the batsmen’s skills come into play while smashing runs against them. Now, let’s look at the top players who have absolutely tonked the finger-spinners in the IPL history.
