Cricket News: Non-subcontinent players who are masters of tackling Spin 

However, from the perspective of a batter, unlike against pacers, there are various ways to tackle spinners, but you need to impede a spinner's head. And one can conquer this through experience only. Let us go through a few non-subcontinent players who have aced the art of keeping spinners at bay.

Rassie Van der Dussen  

With the retirement of Hashim Amla, Jacques Kallies and Ab de Villiers, South Africa went into a deficit of the master players of the art of spin. Dean Elgar, as an opener, had a decent and respectable record against spin, especially in the subcontinent. But in recent times, Aiden Markram and Rassie van der Dussen have emerged to play the spin better than any of their fellow mates. 

Rassie van der Dussen once came closer to Lance Klusener's average of 93.6 against spin bowling and was topping the charts of the highest standard of 90 against spin until Liam Livingstone dismissed him off a leg-spin, reducing his average to 86.22. 

Joe Root  

Former England skipper Joe Root was under scrutiny for a couple of years owing to his struggles as a captain, which raised doubts about his batting capabilities. But the batter performed terrifically to prove why he is a class act. He's modest in smothering the spin when the ball is pitched up or for going back to short-pitched deliveries.  

Though he announced his class in his first inning against India in 2012, where he batted spiritedly against top-quality spinners, his 228 in Galle against Sri Lanka in 2021 was a special knock.  

He claimed his ability to play against spinners in almost every condition with special records in Asian countries. Like most Englishmen, he too uses sweep shots to tackle spinners and thus is comfortably the best English player of spin bowling. 

David Warner

The left-handed opening batsman has been surrounded by an unusual perception of him struggling against spin bowlers. However, he belongs to one of the rare breeds of batters who keeps the potential to dominate all types of spin bowling attacks. While he takes a hyper-aggressive approach towards spin in T20 format owing to his audacity to switch hits and upset the bowler's rhythm, the approach takes a little back seat in longer formats. Besides him, Steven Smith shoulders heavy responsibility to score big runs against spin at home and away.
