Who is the greatest leg spinner of all time?

Shane Warne of Australia is generally regarded as the greatest leg spinner in cricket history. He is currently the record holder for taking the most wickets in Tests. He is the only bowler to take 700 wickets in Tests. He had taken 708 at the end of his career. He has captured 293 wickets in 194 One-day international matches. On 3 January, he achieved the milestone of taking 1000 international wickets (combined total from tests and one-day internationals). He was the second bowler to reach this milestone after Sri Lanka’s Muttiah Muralitharan. As a batsman, he has scored the most runs of any Test cricketer without making a century.


Shane Warne had an undistinguished Test debut, taking 1/150 against India at Sydney. But later, he re-invented himself to become one of the most exciting bowlers to watch. Shane Warne helped Australia win the World Cup in 1999. Warne retired from international cricket in January 2007, following Australia’s 5-0 Ashes series victory over England
