Top 5 white-ball spinners of the current generation

The main objective of the spin bowlers is to trick a batsman's mind by deviating the ball in such a manner that a batsman must find it difficult to anticipate. In cricket, there are four types of spin bowlers:

Right-arm leg break
Right-arm off break
Left-arm orthodox
Left-arm unorthodox.
