Our One Day International (ODI) ratings take into account all matches from the first ODI match on January 5, 1971 till the below mentioned
last update date. Most of our ratings are dynamic, and as new matches are played, the rating of earlier bowlers may change if current
bowlers set new benchmarks. Brief explanation of the ratings is given before each section
(Detailed Explanation).
So, here are the Top 15 Spin bowlers with best Impact Innings Potential in ODIs.
*Note: All ODI Ratings are updated till 2025-02-15
Impact Innings (II)
Impact Innings are those innings which have an impact either in terms of wickets or economy rate.
Know All About II.
These are the criteria for an inning to be included in II:-
- A Bowler takes equal to or more wickets than 4.
- A Bowler bowls more than 30 balls and has a low ER.
- The ER should be less than 75% of the ER of the better team.
THE CRITERIA
The IMPACT INNINGS Rating is divided into 3 main sections:-

The Trend Setter (TS)
TS is the player which does the best in a criteria. The rating of all other players are calculated taking the TS as the benchmark.
Know All About TS.
Here is an example:-
- TS Ave: 25.00; Player X Ave: 30.00; Section Points: 300.00
- TS Points: 300.00(Max); Player X Points: TS Ave/Ave X 300 = 25.00/30.00 X 300 = 250.00
- Ratings of all sections are calculated similarly with Ave being replaced by the Criteria Stat.
Top Teams (TT)
Some sections consider performances only against the top teams. Here is some information about the Top Teams:-
- Win/Loss Ratio is used to determine Top Teams.
- The Top Teams are calculated by decades.
- A bowlerโs performace is counted in TT if it comes against the team in the specific decade.
- Knock Out and Super Six matches of ODI World Cup are also counted in TT.
- Top Teams may be found in the last section.

The Eras
The time period from 1971 to present is divided into eras for this section. This is because less cricket was played earlier. To make
it fair for earlier players they are compared with players of the same period with a slight reduction in points.
