Spinners have always been crucial for any IPL team, known for controlling the run flow during the middle overs of the game. With their ability to take wickets, they are considered high-value players. Also, some spinners contribute with the bat as well, making them proper all-rounders.
We have seen examples like Glenn Maxwell and Sunil Narine, who consistently perform well with both bat and ball. For KKR, Sunil Narine has been a standout performer and a valuable asset. If we see over the years, many spinners have played pivotal roles in their respective teams.
So, if we were to create a special Playing XI consisting solely of spinners for IPL 2025, who can contribute with the bat but are primarily wicket-takers, take a look at the potential Spinners XI for IPL 2025.

Although not in peak form currently, no one can argue about how well all-rounder Glenn Maxwell performs. As a batter, he can thump the bowlers with the bat, and when it comes to bowling, he can also provide quality overs where he has the ability to stop runs and take wickets.
Similarly, as mentioned, Sunil Narine, with tons of experience playing in the IPL, constantly provides solid starts with the bat and with bowl always delivers wicket-taking spells, making him the perfect opener for this spinners’ XI.
Going forward, players like Yuzvendra Chahal, who is the highest wicket-taker in IPL with 205 wickets, also deserve a place in this playing XI.
Along with him are lethal bowlers like Rashid Khan, who can be used at any time, showing how much value he brings with the ball when the team needs him.
Wanindu Hasaranga, who is set to play for Rajasthan Royals, can also bat down the order and always shines when it comes to taking wickets in the middle overs, earning him a spot in this playing XI.
